Lucas is only at PSG because he's Brazilian, says Menez

AC MilanattackerJeremy Menezhas hit out atParis Saint-Germain's transfer policy and feels he was treated unfairly during his time at the Ligue 1 champions in favour of foreign players.
The 27-year-old wore the PSG jersey between 2011 and 2014 and enjoyed two successful seasons in the French capital, but he has no regrets over his decision to leave for Milan this summer.
"PSG bought me for €8 million from AS Roma in the summer of 2011. I did well in the first two seasons, less in the last one, but I was still decisive," he said.
"Statistically, I am ahead of quite a few PSG players. I also marked the club's history with my goal against Lyon which confirmed the Ligue 1 title in 2013. Compared with certain others, if we look at price-quality statistics, I wasn't bad no?
"Lucas, he has been there for two years, and he has scored 3 goals. But he cost €40m more. And he is Brazilian. Today, it is perhaps better to be a foreigner at PSG.
"Me, I am French and a Parisian. I don't have Twitter, or Instagram where I can send messages or pretty photos. I do not make films for social networks. I do not say: "Long live Paris! Long live Paris!" in order to make myself liked. I am not like that.
"But that does not mean that I do not love my club, far from it. Simply, I'm not fake! A lot of players publicise themselves like that in order to be appreciated."
Menez made 110 appearances for PSG during his time at the club, scoring 19 goals in the process.
