The Brazil international was asked about speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League during a press conference on Thursday and he made no secret of his interest.
“It is the dream of every player who plays at a high level, who dreams to play at a high level, to play in Europe,” he told ESPN Brasil.
“I believe that for me, the most competitive football at the moment is in England, which is a league that attracts a lot of my attention.
“If I was to choose a league to play in, the Premier League would be a dream come true.
“To play in a league of a very high technical level, tactically as well. It would certainly add a lot in my career.”
“To me, so far, nothing,” he said.
“Also because I asked my representatives not to communicate anything until the end of the competition so I stay totally focused here to do a great job.”
