Benfica eye Paqueta for the midfield; swap deal with Milan possible
According to what our reporter Daniele Longo has learned, Benfica are the latest team to have joined the race for the 22-year-old's services. The management values Paqueta's qualities and he could soon become a serious market target for the club.
In order to avoid making a loss, Milan will have to sell the Brazilian for at least €28m. Given the circumstances, it's possible that the clubs could work on a broader operation, as the Portuguese side might be willing to include their starlet Florentino Luis in the deal.
The Rossoneri tried to sign the midfielder already in January, but the price tag was simply too high. It remains an idea, but Paqueta to Benfica could take off in the coming weeks.
