Rio de Janeiro May 31 (IANS) Sao Paulo are expected to decide the future of former Uruguay captain Diego Lugano in the coming days according to media reports.
Lugano s contract with the Brazilian Serie A club expires at the end of June but the Tricolor have indicated the 36-year-old could be given a contract extension reports Xinhua news agency.
The former Paris Saint-Germain centre-back has played in just eight of the club s past 29 matches.
But his leadership qualities and popularity among teammates could convince Sao Paulo s hierarchy to hand the defender a new deal the Gazetta Esportiva newspaper said.
Lugano has made 33 appearances for Sao Paulo since returning for a second spell at the club last year.
He was capped 95 times for Uruguay and captained the team at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
