# AC Milan: Lucas Paqueta could be sold as part of exodus

**Lucas Paqueta could be sold as part of an AC Milan exodus, as has been reported by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.it/news/355219/calciomercato_milan_da_suso_a_piatek_i_bocciati_finiscono_sul_mercato_pronta_la_rivoluzione).**

The Brazilian was signed in January 2019 for €35m (£30m), but the indication is that Milan are already beginning to give up on him.

According to [**the report**](https://www.calciomercato.it/news/355219/calciomercato_milan_da_suso_a_piatek_i_bocciati_finiscono_sul_mercato_pronta_la_rivoluzione), the other players who could be let go are Suso, Franck Kessie, Krzysztof Piatek, Davide Calabria, Alessio Romagnoli and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In his first half-season with Milan, Paqueta made 12 starts and one substitute appearance, scoring one goal and getting one assist, as per [**WhoScored**](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/319756/History/Lucas-Paquet%C3%A1).

This time around, the 22-year-old has amassed [**four starts**](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/319756/Show/Lucas-Paquet%C3%A1) and three substitute appearances in Serie A, only managing one assist so far.

The attacking midfielder has been fairly ineffective on the ball, averaging [**0.3 key passes**](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/319756/Show/Lucas-Paquet%C3%A1) and 0.9 dribbles each game, while completing 79.9% of the passes he has attempted this campaign.

He has been working hard though, as shown in his defensive statistics of [**1.3 tackles**](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/319756/Show/Lucas-Paquet%C3%A1), 0.6 interceptions and 0.7 clearances per game.

Paqueta has certainly struggled since joining Milan, but so have many other players during that time, so to sell him already would be a ludicrous decision, especially if it would see the club make a loss.

It is not a good plan for Milan to keep chopping and changing, so they should show patience with Brazilian and do their best to help the 22-year-old reach his potential.
