Olympique Lyon are prepared to sell Lucas Paqueta this summer.
OL refused to do business with Newcastle United in January, but are now prepared to sell.
The midfielder remains a target for Newcastle, where good friend and former OL teammate Bruno Guimaraes is now a star.
Paqueta has stated he feels ready to leave France this summer after feeling isolated following Guimaraes departure during the winter market.
Lyon want £40-50m to sell.
