Arsenal already know how much they will have to pay for Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta.
Reports surfaced last week suggesting Arsenal were still interested in the Lyon star and the Gunners could make a move for the Brazilian this summer.
At the time, it was assumed that the Paqueta would be priced in the region of €50 million, and would offer a flexible option in midfield.
Paqueta joined Lyon in September 2020 from AC Milan. Since then, he has made 77 appearances for the Ligue 1 side, scoring 21 goals and providing 13 assists in the process.

He has a contract at Parc Olympique Lyonnais until 2025.
Now, Fabrizio Romano provided a fresh update on the situation on Monday.
The journalist insists that Arsenal have yet to make an offer for the South American player, but it is a situation to watch as Paqueta loves playing in the Premier League.
Furthermore, Romano added that Lyon want at least 60-65 million euros for Paqueta:
“Currently, Paqueta’s camp has refused to negotiate as Arsenal have so far not made any offers for Lucas,” Romano wrote.
“It will be a situation to be watched until the end of the transfer market because Paqueta loves playing in the Premier League.
“Lyon usually ends up selling their star players, but Paqueta won’t come cheap – his club want at least 60-65 million euros plus add-ons for the Brazilian.”
