While his move to AC Milan did not quite go according to plan, a move to Olympique Lyon worked out rather perfectly for Lucas Paqueta. The 24-year-old has thrived at the French side, contributing to 34 goals in 77 appearances for the club despite their struggles over the last few years. However, that combined with his age and talent saw Lyon set a £70 million price-tag on his head. But amidst interest this summer, reports have indicated that the club could let the attacking midfielder leave.

However, Jacobs has reported that the North Londoners have no plans of getting into a bidding war and are also looking at other options, something that Newcastle United are also doing. That does allow AS Roma a clean path for Paqueta but Jose Mourinho’s side does have other targets on their mind first. Furthermore, reports have also indicated that while the 24-year-old is keen on a move to England, he would be open to going to either Italy or Spain.
