The deal is agreed, the stumbling block is the incoming Lyon owner is trying to block the sale and the shareholders need to be told first.

The same lad told me about the takeover 10 months before it was public, and i posted it on here at the time

Mate, im not in the know and have zero connections with the club, i have friends, family and colleagues in the middle east, only saying what i have heard
I live and work in Qatar, I've heard exactly the same story. Paqueta is a done deal. However one of the Shareholders is trying to buy the club outright. He is stalling on the deal as he wants the club to mount a challenge for the title this season against PSG and sees Paqueta as central to this plan.

However with Lucas asking to leave and handing in a transfer request to push for the move we should get him before the window closed.

Here's hoping.
