Valencia propose swap deal for Paqueta

After the interest of Lyon, Valencia has emerged as another possible destination for AC Milan midfielder Lucas Paqueta. 

At the moment, AC Milan’s mercato is a bit in stand-by due to the absence of player sales. Inevitable, as there are players who are not part of Stefano Pioli’s plans and must be sold.

The Rossoneri management must first sale, so it cannot afford risky moves. The most important player to leave Milanello is going to be Lucas Paqueta, from whose farewell Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara expect to collect 22-23 million euros. Important money to reinvest in new signings, probably on a central defender.

Among the most interested clubs in the former Flamengo is Lyon with sporting director Juninho Pernambucano confident he can relaunch Paqueta’s career after a difficult season and a half with Milan. But Lyon must sell before they can make an offer to the Rossoneri club.

Another club interested in Paqueta is Valencia. La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that the Spaniards have proposed a swap deal with Geoffrey Kondogbia. However, this is not a solution that Milan favor.

AC Milan want and need to sell the Brazilian in order to fund moves for other transfer targets. Valencia are reportedly considering a new bid without Kondogbia or other players included as technical counterparts.
