In 2019, AC Milan paid a massive (for what teams usually pay for relatively raw Brazilian prospects) £34.5 million to bring him to Italy. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Paquetá’s career began with Flamengo. His 84 stamina, 84 composure, 82 reactions, 78 aggression, 72 interceptions, 84 strength, and 72 standing tackle make the CM particularly good at recovering the ball.
