Arsenal can rush to sign Paqueta

Arsenal and Newcastle United both interested in Paqueta

LONDON--Arsenal could rush to sign Lyon's Lucas Paqueta as the player is expected to want to play in European competition next season.


While Lyonagal qualified for the Europa League because they finished in eighth position last season. Arsenal and Newcastle United are both interested in the former AC Milan man. But the Magpies could not offer him to play in Europe.

Unlike the Gunners who will compete in the Europa League. Lyon initially stuck with a fee of 80 million Euros for the player's price.

But according to Media Foot , reported by Sportsmole , Tuesday (19/7) Les Gones started to soften. The report claims Arsenal can now complete a half-price deal for Paqueta of 40 million euros.

Paqueta reportedly turned down a contract extension offer because he wanted to play in the Premier League. Arsenal have a chance for that. But the London Cannon has yet to make an official approach.

Arsenal's technical director Edu previously informed Paqueta's representatives of Arsenal's interest and said he had the potential to shine in England.

Lyon coach Peter Bosz recently did not rule out a potential exit for the player.

"Lucas is a very important player, but it depends on what the player wants. I've had conversations with him, but it will remain between us," he said.

Club president Jean-Michel Aulas also confirmed a contract extension offer was made. He admits that there are some players who feel that their demands are fully met, some of them are not.

Since arriving at Groupama Stadium in 2020, Paqueta has recorded 21 goals and 13 assists in 77 appearances across all competitions.
