Manchester United are ready to compete with Manchester City for the signing of Lucas Paqueta, with INEOS looking to make a marquee signing in the summer. The Red Devils are in a period of transition and are looking to strengthen their squad with notable players to challenge for top honours once again. Paqueta has emerged as a potential target for Manchester United, with the 26-year-old Brazilian having impressed during his time at West Ham.
Manchester City, however, are currently the front runners for Paqueta, with Pep Guardiola keen to bring the midfielder to Etihad. The club had shown interest in him last summer, but concerns over betting allegations may have put a halt to the move. It is reported that there is an £86 million release clause in Paqueta’s contract that will be activated in the summer, making him an expensive target for any potential suitors.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City will be vying for the signature of Paqueta in the upcoming transfer window, with the Brazilian midfielder looking for a new challenge in his career. While City are currently leading the race, United’s interest in the player adds a new dimension to the competition. With both clubs looking to strengthen their squads, the battle for Paqueta’s signature is set to be an interesting one to watch unfold.
