Foot OL – OL: Paqueta prefers Lyon, the Premier League is choking – Olympique Lyonnais

Lucas Paqueta’s future at Lyon still looks uncertain, but in England it is believed the Brazilian player has already made a very clear and shocking choice.

Asked Thursday about Lucas Paqueta, on the sidelines of a training session open to the public, the Olympique Lyonnais coach admitted to a recent meeting with the Brazilian player, but he was careful not to say more.  » I want to keep all the good players, but you also have to be realistic. There is the player’s opinion which is very important, that of the coach, the club and the other clubs. It’s always a game between the different parties. Lucas Paqueta is a very good player, but it depends on what the player wants. I already had a discussion on this subject with him, but it will remain between us “, explained Peter Bosz. However, the Sun goes a little further than the OL technician, since the tabloid claims that Lucas Paqueta has chosen to stay one more season with Jean-Michel Aulas’ club.

Gary Stonehouse, football columnist for The Sun, writes that « TheLyon star ucas Paqueta snubbed Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City » after these three clubs contacted him to talk about a possible transfer during this summer transfer window 2022. The English media confirms the info from ESPN, namely that the 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder feels very good at Olympique Lyonnais and in Ligue 1 and that he wishes to be able to contribute to the recovery of OL after a disappointing season. It is true that Paqueta still has a three-year contract with the Rhone club, and that there is no financial urgency to sell him, thanks to the agreement reached with John Textor. But obviously on the England side, it’s hard to believe that such a player could refuse to come to a big Premier League club, especially when it comes to a footballer playing in what our English friends call the  » farmer league. »
