Lucas Paquetá has 19 goals and 12 assists to his name since he arrived at Lyon from AC Milan in 2020.
Operating mainly in an attacking midfield position, the Brazilian has also been used as a centre forward and in the middle of the pitch on several occasions this season, and his performances and versatility seem to have caught Arsenal’s attention.
Earlier this week, reports emerging from the UK press discussed the Gunners’ interest in the 24-year-old.
Claims made in England about Arsenal have reached Italy and Sport Mediaset give their take on this case.
They state the former Milan man has been ‘reborn in Lyon’ and Mikel Arteta’s side have now ‘set their sights’ on him.
The Brazilian’s contract runs down in 2025 and the outlet states the French club ‘would ask for €70m’ to part ways with the player in the summer.
Milan will receive a part of this fee and therefore, Arsenal and others looking at Paquetá gives the Serie A side hope to earn money.
The exact percentage the Rossoneri are entitled to receive from the South American’s future sale isn’t mentioned by Sport Mediaset, but over at MilanLive.it, they claim this is set at 20 percent.
