The attack-minded Brazilian international defender has, for the most part, been out of the limelight since his anticipated move to AS Roma collapsed in the eleventh hour, but he will almost certainly be back on the centrestage before all is said and done this summer.
AC Milan's failure to lure Jaap Stam away from the Olimpico and Real Madrid's shrewd decision not to take the chance on Independiente's Gabriel Milito means that both clubs will resurrect their interest in Bayer Leverkusen's top rated World Cup winner.
Roma are said to still be interested in his services as well despite having secured the services of Romania skipper Christian Chivu, while Juventus are considering upping their 14m Euro offer.
Should any of the aforementioned clubs be prepared to fork out 20 million big ones, then it would be safe to say that the chances of Lucio remaining at the BayArena over the summer are next to none.
