# Reds target Paqueta wanted by United and PSG

Liverpool target Lucas Paqueta has emerged as a transfer target for both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

[Le10Sport, as cited on Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/attento-milan-due-club-trattano-con-il-flamengo-per-paqueta-24631), reports that both clubs are keen on signing the player, who is valued at around £45 million by Brazilian club Flamengo.

Paqueta has previously been linked with moves to Chelsea and Liverpool, with suggestions that the Blues were preparing a big-money bid for the Brazilian.

The youngster looks set to be the next Brazilian to make his way over to Europe after starring in his native country.

Paqueta is a creative and skilful midfielder who is earning rave reviews back in Brazil and it appears that his performances are not going unnoticed.

The player is said to have a £45 million release clause in his contract, but it is yet to be seen if any European outfit will splash the cash on such an unknown talent.
