Lucas Paqueta is working hard to recover his spot in Stefano Pioli’s plans despite being linked with an exit all throughout January.
Paqueta has been the centre of a storm recently having lost his spot in the starting XI with the switch to a 4-4-2 formation by head coach Stefano Pioli.
The former Flamengo man – who arrived a year ago in a €35m deal – asked not to be called up for the recent trip to Brescia after it was reported by numerous outlets that he was treated for stress and anxiety following the 3-2 win over Udinese.
Despite rumours of interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Fiorentina late in the window, the Brazil international has stayed at Milan.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport – as cited by MilanNews.it – the news filtering from Milanello is that of a concentrated Paquetà who is not at all distracted by the last hours of the market.
The paper claims that the 22-year-old has returned to training with intensity but working hard, in this Milan remodelled on Ibrahimovic’s characteristics, may not be enough.
