Brazilian wants move to Spain

Bayern Munich defender Lucio has revealed that he is dreaming of a move to Spain. The Brazilian is under contract at Bayern until 2010 but he has repeatedly stated that he wants to head off for a new challenge. He has previously expressed his admiration for both the English and Italian leagues, but he now has his heart set on a switch to La Liga. "It is my dream to play there," Lucio told TZ. "If there was a good offer I would leave Bayern. An offer from Barcelona or Madrid is the biggest thing for every football player." Speculation has suggested that Barcelona are interested in a summer swoop for Lucio, with reports claiming the Spanish club have offered the centre-half a four-year contract. However, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is determined to keep the 29-year-old at the club. Rummenigge said: "He will not get our acceptance to leave us. He is a very good player and we want to keep such ones."
