How Lyon's manager confirms transfer proposals, and how Arsenal might acquire Lucas Paqueta for a discount

 Lucas Paqueta, a star for Lyon, is still being linked to a summer transfer to Arsenal. Paqueta made a name for himself as one of Ligue 1's most gifted midfielders by scoring 11 goals and dishing out seven more assists in all competitions last season, garnering interest from numerous European clubs in the process. Lyon are infamously difficult to deal with when it comes to selling their assets, frequently discouraging clubs from signing their finest players.

According to Goal, the French club values the Brazilian international at €80 million (£68 million), which is a high sum when you consider that Lyon purchased him from AC Milan just two years ago for about £18 million. The player's entourage reportedly pushed the French club to accept a reasonable price considering that he accepted a pay cut when he arrived at the Groupama Stadium from Milan back in 2020, giving the Gunners an advantage in the negotiations. The north London team will be hoping that this may assist the French team decrease their asking price for Paqueta, who, according to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas, has received a bid from an unidentified club this summer. When asked about the 24-year-future, old's Aulas responded to Goal, "There are proposals for him.

"Some participants can feel complete in the project, and others can't," he continued. We have the financial resources to pursue our ideas and goals.
