The Paris Saint-Germain defender has found himself confined to the bench at Parc des Princes, and has failed to make a cut in PSG’s 25-man squad for the Champions League
The Uruguay international has lost his place in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting eleven following the arrival of several new players at the Paris club this season.
And to make things worse, the 31-year-old has not been included in Les Parisiens’ 25-man squad for the European club competition.
However, the experienced centre-back, who joined the Paris revolution in 2011 for a fee believed to be in the region of 3 million Euros, is not worried about the situation.
While talking to reporters, the former Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 player stated that he has no intention of leaving the cash-laden club, and has vowed to fight for a place in the starting eleven. The Uruguayan added that he is not the kind of person who walks away from tough
situations.
Lugano, who earns 4 million Euros per season, said that his contract with the French giants is extremely good and he is happy to stay few more years in Paris.
"It is a challenge that I have taken on, and there is also the fact that my contract is really good," the 31-year-old told reporters.
The former Fenerbahce player stated that he loves to play in the French league and he is enjoying his time here. Ligue 1 is one of the best leagues in world and Lugano does not want to depart quite yet.
"That is an important factor in my decision. I live in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, I play in a great team and my salary is high, so I should not worry."
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 international said that playing for the national side is a great honour, and he would not like to lose his place in the national setup because of his lack of first-team opportunities at Parc des Princes.
"If my situation at PSG should have an impact on my situation with the national team, I would need to have a rethink. The Celeste is too important for me."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Lugano only managed to make 12 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit last season, something he would want to change this time around.
