Milan director Leonardo in Brazil to discuss starlet with Gremio
Everton has an €80m release clause in his current contract but the Rossoneri are currently attempting to reduce this further. Leonardo would be having a direct meeting with Gremio president Romildo Bolzan, attempting to get a foot ahead in the race for the Brazilian, who is also a target of Premier League outfit Manchester City.
The forward himself has also spoken on the idea of moving to AC Milan; saying at a press conference: "Future with the Rossoneri? I am very happy with their interest. Milan is a huge team. Let's see how it will end: I talk often with Paquetà. If all goes as it should go we can become teammates."
