Lucas Paqueta could wait for Newcastle United to make their move - and may play another season at Lyon if the Magpies don't come calling this summer.
The Brazil international was heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur with reports in France suggesting that the London club had moved ahead in the battle for his signature. However, Chronicle Live understands that Spurs have not pushed ahead of Newcastle when it comes to Paqueta.
The reality is Newcastle have other priorities this summer but that may not stop the club's rich backers pulling off a pleasant surprise like they did with Bruno Guimaraes back in January. The South American is still waiting for any offers this summer. With Lyon demanding £58million for his services the big asking price has even managed to put off moneybags Paris St-Germain.
