Manchester City’s interest in Brazilian player Lucas Paqueta has been intensifying, with the club considering his potential roles within the squad. City has been monitoring Paqueta since his time at Olympique Lyonnais and are impressed with his abilities as a playmaker. They see him as a versatile player who can operate in various positions including as a central playmaker, a winger, or dropping deeper in midfield.
The plans for Paqueta at Manchester City have been detailed, especially in light of a potential departure of Bernardo Silva. Although City had not pursued Paqueta before his move to West Ham United, they now see him as a valuable option especially with Silva’s uncertain future at the club. City also has other players like John Stones and Phil Foden who can play in multiple positions, providing flexibility in the squad.
Manchester City’s future recruitment plans include bringing in Paqueta to strengthen the squad. The team also has players like Kevin De Bruyne who may transition into a deeper midfield role. City’s focus on versatility and adaptability in their players reflects their strategic approach to building a successful team.
