Speaking at a press conference in Brazil, Lucas Paquetà revealed that he has spoken to AC Milan legend Kaka ahead of his move to the San Siro. 

 

"It's a dream that becomes a reality. I will live up to this transfer in the best way possible, we will see what happens. I'm grateful to Flamengo for having formed me as a man and a footballer. 

 

"I spoke with Juan, who told me wonderful things about Italy. I also spoke with Kaka, who gave me some advice and explained a couple of things. He told me to be convinced and determined, even if I'm a shy person. I will fly to Italy in the next few days for the last details.

 

"On being labelled as a promise? I have always been talked about as a promise, the future of Brazilian football. Time passes and I'm improving. I have always had my family, my father, my mother and my wife at my side," he concluded.
