Pioli wants Lucas Leiva and Inter are trying to make it happen. Liverpool will not hold the player back and are open to a transfer: loan with buy option without any obligation. Lucas Leiva’s contract ends in 2018 and there is a possibility that he remains at Inter after the loan if his performances convince Pioli. Now after the meeting between Pioli, Ausilio and Suning  the Nerazzurri will decide if the Brazilian will be the first player to come in January.
