Never gonna happen
At that price? No.
At a lower price. Probably.
I mean theyād have lower their asking price by like 50% lol
No way is this guy worth ā¬80m when barely anyone has even heard of him.
This is gonna be Auoar all over again, and look where heās at.
Ā£50m with add onsā¦
Get it done
I donāt think thatās true. The guy was a prodigy when he was younger along with his Flamengo teammate you may have heard of, Vinicius.
Milan paid top bucks for him back then. Sure, it didnāt work out for him there but since joining Lyon heās become one of the best players in Ligue 1 and one of Brazilās key players.
We arenāt talking about some rando here.
It clearly hasnāt kicked off for him at Lyon either though, otherwise heād be a much bigger name.
I think Arsenal management should just implement a policy of āwe donāt do business with Lyon or Napoliā and leave it at that.
So glad we didnāt pay up for Aouar either.
Did you miss the part where he is one of the best players in the league?
I mean, obviously itās a farmerās league no doubt, thatās why I moreso go off his status in the national team.
The guy isnāt a Fred or a Richarlison where he gets a pass in the national team because of lack of depth.
He genuinely is a key player for Brazil and has contributed in critical moments for them with goals.
I think as far as midfielders and forwards go, him and Neymar are the most important players in Titeās side.
Yep, he is currently more important than our boy Jesus.
Thatās ingetesting. Didnāt realise that he was a key player. Letās hope those Geordie pricks donāt want their own Brazilian trio.
I think if Lyon hold onto him is with him shining in the World Cup in mind.
Like always, Brazil are one of the favourites. If Brazil actually win it, with him most likely a key player, then his price could go 100+m.
Ffs 80m just fuck off.
Can we not swap some of our deadweight? Torreira, Mari, Tavares?
This would be so dumb as a move.
Just have to hope it is twitter bollocks.
Any more than the £7m Milan paid for him would arguably he too much.
Have you got the right player mate? Milan paid ā¬35m for him and then sold him for ā¬20m to Lyon.
Oh well whatever.
Iāve not watched him much for Lyon but I watched a little at Milan.
Decent player, very flawed and not physical enough to handle the Italian League then.
He needed time to develop there before being a good player there. But nowhere near ready for the PL
Hmmm, come to think of it, you are right I donāt remember him being very physical back then.
For what is worth, he is very physical now. I would argue from a fitness and toughness aspect he will fit in very well, probably one of his strengths currently.
He is in much better shape than Tielemans and most of our players actually.
Sounds like the word is going out to all Goal outlets.
Charles verifying what was reported and states that the playerās camp expect a bid to arrive from Arsenal for him.
This is a non starter. Theyāre not going to sell him for what heās actually worth which is considerably less than the quoted numbers.
I think people saw the Lisandro and Raphinha figures and probably think it works the other way around.
For Lisandro, Ajax are taking advantage of Man Utd and EtH.
For Raphinha, Chelsea jumped the gun with a massive bid out of nowhere which ruined any negotiations we had in place and Barcelona had to somehow outdo them.
Unless thereās some sort of bidding war, if a sale is sanctioned for Paqueta this summer, I doubt it exceeds Ā£60m, all add-ons inclusive.
If weāre going to spend 80m on Paqueta we might as well go for someone like Maddison.
Surely that sort of money should be spent on a CM, rather than another attacking wide player, especially with the prospect of yet another season of Xhaka starting for us and the Partey situation.
Correctamundo. Weāve done this song and dance with Aulas recently with Aouar, and we were taken to the cleaners before with Lacazette.
Even ā¬60m sounds ridiculous. No point wasting time unless that price is wrong
