The Liverpool midfielder has been linked with a move away from Anfield in recent weeks.
Nilmar is quoted as saying by talkSPORT: “He plays very well, and he would fit in well with our style at Villarreal.
“Lucas was interested in the club.
“He wanted to know how we play and how we live here. I told him to come here for good football.
“He would be a great player for our team. He plays very well, and he would fit in well with our style at Villarreal.”
