Paqueta vs Giampaolo: agent speaks out
The agent of Lucas Paqueta denies rumors about a clash between the player and coach Marco Giampaolo.
The situation been Lucas Paqueta and Marco Giampaolo has escalated quickly. After Paqueta’s reaction, yesterday on Instagram, the two had a face-to-face meeting today to resolve their differences.
The new AC Milan coach declared that Paqueta “should be less Brazilian“, something that the 21-year-old midfielder did not appreciate. Shortly afterwards the former Flamengo replied on Instagram with a story “Proud Brazilian”. The club is evaluating the situation and could decide to fine Paqueta for his reaction reports Sky Sports.
In an interview with Tuttomercatoweb, Eduardo Uram, agent of the talented midfielder, acknowledged the risk of a fine from the club but explained that the issue has been blown out of proportion and that everything has been clarified between the player and his coach.
“Everything is fine, between Lucas and Milan there are no problems. Sunday’s substitution? It’s normal. Lucas is happy to stay at Milan. With the coach and the club, everything is fine. If Milan decide to fine him, Lucas will pay the fine. Milan will certainly have a great season, we are talking about a great team“, said Uram.
It is extremely unlikely that Milan fine Paqueta for a post on Instagram. The squad is reportedly busy for the upcoming derby against Inter and the last thing the Rossoneri need are distractions of this banal nature.
