Reported Manchester United and Liverpool transfer target Lucas Rodrigues has insisted that he has no intention of leaving Brazilian club Sao Paulo.
The midfielder is said to have been tracked by the Premier League duo all season, while Serie A side Inter Milan have also been credited with an interest.
Despite all the speculation, the 19-year-old has claimed that he has "some great objectives" to complete with his current employers.
"2011 has been a good year for me and I hope that 2012 is even better," he told O Globo.
"For the New Year I have some great objectives and they all go through Sao Paulo.
"I want to win a title and also have a great Olympics in London. After that I will see but I'm only interested in Sao Paulo."
Lucas joined Sao Paulo's youth team at the age of six.
