Lucas Paqueta: Kaka’s first mission in Brazil
AC Milan legend Ricardo Kaka has been assigned with the task of convincing Flamengo star Lucas Paqueta to join the Rossoneri.
Despite the summer shopping campaign closed less than a month ago, there are already many names being linked to AC Milan in view of the next transfer window. Among these, there is also that of Lucas Paqueta, Flamengo star who has a 50 million euros release clause. Leonardo and Paolo Maldini are on his trail and in order to beat the competition (especially PSG) will also rely on the work of Ricardo Kaka.
THE TASK OF KAKA – Tuttosport reports this morning that the task of the former Ballon d’Or winner was indirectly explained by Leonardo a few weeks ago: “To get the new Thiago Silva, Kaka or youngsters like Verratti you have to follow them for one year. And you need to know their family, what they eat, what they dream, how they live“. In practice, Kaka will have to do the same things that Leonardo and Braida have done in the past, for example, for Alexandro Pato. The two in fact flirted for a long time with the family of the Duck, making him understand what he would find at AC Milan and how he would be treated.
COMPETITION – Kaka will therefore have the task of following Paqueta with great care and cuddle him so the Rossoneri could snatch his yes for a quick transfer to San Siro and beat the competition. The star of the Flamengo has many suitors around the world but PSG are the most interested in his services. The rich French would have no problem paying his 50 million release clause already in January, even it will get them in troubles with the Financial Fair Play. Milan is therefore working to try to anticipate everyone and bring at San Siro one of the most promising youngsters in South America.
Lucas Paqueta is one of the most talented prospects in Brazil. The Flamengo star is famous in his homeland for his speed and dribbling skills. A fantasist player of absolute quality ready for a move to Europe despite being just 21 years old. In addition, Paqueta is a very versatile player, even though his primary role is that of attacking midfielder he can also play as left or central midfielder.
