Lucas Paqueta Next Club Betting Odds: Brazilian superstar now 5/6 to swap Lyon for Newcastle this Summer!

Lucas Paqueta is now 5/6 to sign for Newcastle this Summer

Brazilian international Lucas Paqueta is now 5/6 to join Newcastle this Summer with reports ramping up for the transfer.

Bookmakers make Newcastle the favourite destination for the attacking midfielder with Manchester City second at 11/2.

The Premier League champions may turn to Paqueta if Barcelona go ahead with signing Bernardo Silva.

Arsenal were linked to signing the player earlier in the transfer window but are now out to 6/1 in the betting market.

According to the betting odds, Newcastle have a 54.5% chance of signing the player this Summer.

The Brazilian international is 7/2 to stay at Lyon in this transfer window

Lucas Paqueta is 7/2 to stay in France at Lyon this Summer which could well happen if no one meets the asking price for the player.

Early reports this Summer suggested that Lyon put a £68million price tag on the player when Arsenal were interested. 

Now though it looks like the player could well be available for £30-40m which would be much more affordable for most clubs.

Newcastle started the season in perfect fashion with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest

Newcastle's Premier League campaign got off to a perfect start with a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

Goals from Callum Wilson and Fabian Schar helped the Toon to victory against a toothless Forest side.

Next up for Newcastle is a tricky fixture against Brighton, who have just beaten Manchester United away at Old Trafford.

A home game against Manchester City comes the week after in what should be an extremely entertaining match.
