Newly rich in the Premier League and international football, Newcastle continues to pull out the checkbook. After attracting Lyonnais Bruno Guimaraes in January for more than 40 million euros, the Magpies are now dreaming of their ex-partner and great friend Lucas Paqueta.
Thus, the Times reveals that the club from the north of England would prepare an offer of 60 million euros to secure the services of the Brazilian playmaker. At the end of a mixed half-season with OL, Paqueta would also have an exit voucher in the event of a satisfactory offer. And the amount mentioned is likely to satisfy Lyon’s interests, two years after buying the Brazilian three times less from Milan (20 million euros).
Such a transaction would thus establish a new record for the Magpies, who therefore covet a meeting between the two Brazilian friends, who had also met in recent days in England. A relationship that has not escaped manager Eddie Howe: “It can help to have players who like each other.”
