RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 16 -- World Cup winner Lucio has revealed plans to continue playing beyond his 41st birthday with Brazilian Serie D club Brasiliense.
Lucio made just nine appearances for the Brasilia-based side in 2018 after arriving from local rivals Gama in April.
Despite recognizing that he has lost some of his speed and agility, the center-back said he still had something to offer as a player.
"My career hasn't finished," Lucio told reporters after a charity match in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre on Sunday.
"I didn't play much [this year] but I'll be back in 2019 and, fitness permitting, I'll play another year. That's my objective."
Lucio, who turns 41 next May, is the only member of Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning team who is still playing.
The former Brazil captain has represented Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Juventus in a professional career that has spanned more than two decades.
