03 dic 2018

New AC Milan signing Lucas Paqueta has spoken with Brazilian media about his future move to the San Siro. The Brazilian will arrive in the January transfer window and has already chosen his squad number: “I’ll wear the shirt no. 39”, the Brazilian starlet said.

“I had luck with it and I hope the same will happen in Milan. I chose the Rossoneri because of Leonardo, he called me and convinced me immediately. I know AC Milan have a serious project for my career and that’s a vital step for a young player that arrives in Europe. I am looking forward to beginning.”

Paqueta gave an emotional farewell to his current squad Flamengo this past weekend. The Brazilian broke into tears as he played the last game of the season with the Brazilian club.

The 21-year-old will join the Rossoneri in the January transfer window for € 35 million.
