Team report: Leonardo is interested in signing Paqueta, Lyon asked for a transfer fee of 60 million euros

According to the "Team Newspaper", Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo is considering signing Lucas Paqueta from Lyon in the following summer. Leonardo was impressed by Paqueta, 24, who has had the idea of bringing in the player since last September.

However, Paris Saint-Germain must first streamline their squad and reduce their salary burden, which means that Paqueta will not arrive until the following summer transfer window. What Leonardo wants to bring in is a full-fledged midfielder – technically and combative, able to cover his own side and the opposing penalty area, Paqueta has become his ideal choice, but the player's contract will not expire until 2025.

Paqueta's relationship with Neymar and his excellent performances with the Brazilian national team reinforce Leonardo's conviction that he is the midfielder paris Saint-Germain needs. For Lyon, they originally cost 20 million euros to bring in Paqueta, and now their demand is three times that amount to sell the players.
