"(Veracruz President) Fidel Kuri has sent me a proposal and he is very interested in signing a player like Lucas Pratto," Lahorca was quoted as saying by Globo Esporte.
"It's not going to be easy because he recently moved to Sao Paulo and is the club captain. But Veracruz have been watching him for a long time and know that he would be a great signing," he added.
