Lucas' "most difficult" decision to win "all titles in football"

"It's a very important day in my football career", Lucas said upon his official arrival. "Bayern Munich is one of the best clubs in Europe and in the world. I am proud to be able to fight for titles with them in the future."

"Atletico will always be a part of me. Now I'm happy to be taking my next step to Bayern", he continued. 

Of course, his words were largely centred around Atletico, a club that have played a huge role in his development as a player. 

"Atletico means a lot to me, since here is where I've grown as a footballer, as a person, and where I have become the player I am today."

Having signed on with Bayern until 2024, he then went on to thank those that had helped him at Atletico.

"I want to thank everybody at Atletico, directors, managers, teammates and fans, these 12 incredible years have been unforgettable. Atletico will always be in my heart", he concluded.
