Olympique Lyonnais continue to chase Milan midfielder Lucas Paqueta, and the two clubs are reportedly still in talks over a move for the midfielder.

Tuttomercatoweb claims the Rossoneri are working to offload the Brazilian midfielder, hoping to reinvest the cash in new signings this summer.

The report claims talks are ongoing with the Ligue 1 side, who are interested in the former Flamengo star.

The 23-year-old moved to San Siro for €38.4m in January 2019 and has contributed one goal and three assists in his 44 competitive games for the Diavolo.

Olympique Lyonnais have emerged as possible suitors for Lucas Paqueta, who was left behind when Milan travelled to Dublin.

Sky Sport Italia claims the Ligue 1 side want the Brazilian midfielder but haven’t entered talks with the Rossoneri.

Milan face Shamrock Rovers in Dublin tomorrow and Paqueta remained in the fashion capital, as the broadcaster reports Lyon could make a move and open negotiations with the Rossoneri.

Paqueta arrived from Flamengo for €38m in January 2019 but has struggled to convince at San Siro.

Milan are still trying to find a buyer for Lucas Paqueta, as Real Betis and Valencia are options along with Olympique Lyonnais.

The Brazilian is on the market for €23m, but so far Lyon have not made a formal offer reaching that level.

According to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper, Spanish sides are interested in the 23-year-old too.

Real Betis and Valencia are keeping an eye on the situation, although he might be a little expensive for their finances.

As reports grow of Lyon interest in Milan midfielder Lucas Paqueta, President Jean-Michel Aulas declares it ‘fake news.’

The rumours started in Italy and have now spread to France, specifically L’Equipe, with suggestions of talks for a €27m deal.

Paqueta is on the transfer market, having failed to make an impact since his January 2019 move from Flamengo at a cost of €38m plus bonuses.

However, just as the stories were increasing in intensity, Lyon President Aulas took to Twitter in order to shoot them down.

Milan are struggling to find buyers for Lucas Paqueta, but Olympique Lyonnais have shown an interest and possible €23m bid.

The Brazilian midfielder cost €38.4m plus bonuses to purchase from Flamengo in January 2019, but has failed to live up to expectations.

He has just one goal and three assists in 44 competitive games for the Diavolo.

Under contract until June 2023, the Rossoneri want to sell so they can fund other transfer deals, such as Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea or Boubakary Soumare of Lille.

Milan fought back from 2-0 down to beat Novara 4-2 in their first pre-season friendly, with Lucas Paqueta’s brace, Diego Laxalt and Davide Calabria goals.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was in the starting XI of Stefano Pioli’s 4-2-3-1 formation, although clearly there were none of the players currently away on international duty.

It was a game split into three 20-minute periods, as they only just started training.

Fiorentina turned down a straight swap between Nikola Milenkovic and Milan midfielder Lucas Paqueta, claim reports, demanding €40m cash instead.

According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, the offer was made by the Rossoneri, hoping to make the most of January attempts to sign Paqueta.

However, the Viola were unimpressed, have since turned to other targets and don’t believe Paqueta is worth the same as Milenkovic.

Instead, they are requesting €40m in cash, which can then be used to sign a suitable replacement in defence.

Milan continue to chase Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic this summer, but the Viola reportedly ask for €40m.

Tuttosport claims the only thing stopping Milan from making a concrete move for the Serbian is the high price tag set by Fiorentina.

The Rossoneri coach Stefano Pioli knows the 22-year-old defender from his time at the club and would love to bring Milenkovic to San Siro this summer.

Milan and Fiorentina are reportedly negotiating an exchange of loans with option to buy between Lucas Paqueta and Nikola Milenkovic.

The Brazilian midfielder has fallen down the pecking order at San Siro and is not part of coach Stefano Pioli’s plans for the future.

Making back the €38m plus bonuses spent to sign Paqueta from Flamengo in January 2019 is impossible right now.

The idea, according to Sport Mediaset, is therefore to send him out for regular playing time at Fiorentina.
