Como contou o Financial Times, um brasileiro também foi imperativo nessa negociação:
"At Milanello, the Italian team’s country retreat-cum-training ground, Singer junior was being asked to sanction a minor transaction by Elliott’s standards: a €35m fee to acquire Brazilian forward Lucas Paquetá. But the deal broke the tight transfer budget its executives imposed on a club in dire financial trouble. Mr Maldini was among the team officials arguing it was worth gambling on a player that could change AC Milan’s fortunes.
