Paqueta is one of Brazil’s fastest rising starlets, and it appears AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are on a collision course to secure his signature.

The 21-year-old has dazzled for Flamengo in 2018, taking home honours for best left-winger in the 2018 Campeonato Carioca – the only Mengao player part of the team of the tournament.

Those performances have caught the eye of Milan, with director Leonardo already looking into a potential move for Paqueta.

Globo Esporte reports things may not be simple for the Rossoneri, as PSG have thrown their name in the mix at the request of star striker Neymar.

The Brazilian has reportedly asked the French giants to sign Paqueta in January, as he is a big fan of the talented attacking midfielder.

As a result a transfer battle is expected to be waged for the youngster, who is valued at over €15 million.

Paqueta has netted 14 goals in 80 appearances for Flamengo since making his debut in 2016.
