Paqueta ‘happy and enthusiastic’ ahead of AC Milan move

Flamengo star Lucas Paqueta has revealed that he is ‘happy and enthusiastic’ ahead of joining AC Milan.

The Brazilian is set to join the Rossoneri in January after they agreed a deal worth €35million plus bonuses.

The 21-year-old will finish his commitments in the Brazilian league and will join his new team-mates at Milanello by the middle of January.

“I cannot say much for contractual reasons, but I am happy and enthusiastic, full of joy. Before joining Milan I want to give the Brazilian title to the Flamengo fans,” he said. 

Paqueta scored once again over the weekend, helping lead his team to 4-0 win against Parana.
