The winter transfer window is fast approaching and Newcastle will have to make a huge investment this winter to prevent the potential risk of relegation this season.
But Newcastle's reinforcement work is not smooth, foreign media reports that Lyon player Paqueta refused the huge salary supplied by the Newcastle club.
Lucas Paqueta is a Brazilian-born player, 24 years old, who plays as an attacking midfielder.
In September 2020, Paquita was released from AC
Milan (Italy)
Transferred to join Ligue 1 side Lyon.
The Brazilian player has now made 55 appearances for Lyon so far, scoring 17 goals and contributing 10 assists.
Although Newcastle FC have now made sizable offers to Lyon and Paqueta, the player doesn't seem to be happy about leaving the Ligue 1 side.
Newcastle are happy to supply a £34m transfer fee for Paqueta and are happy to progress the player's salary to 2.5 times its current level. But the player has indicated that he would prefer to stay at Lyon.
Newcastle have a terrible record so far this season, they can't attack and they can't defend. Newcastle need vocal support on the defensive end and a front man and a striker on the offensive end.
Just because Newcastle have been rejected by players doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
There is a risk for Newcastle to use Paqueta as an approach. Because Paqueta doesn't have
England Premier Soccer League
Match experience, and as a result, Newcastle need to bring in players who are a little older, more experienced, and have absolute strength in depth.
