Nah, not more than 12M. But I like Paredes, he's talented and the sort of creative midfielder we lack when Pjanic cant play. Young, has potential, to be groomed and with 1/5 of the wages Matuidi will make.
And if he doesnt work out, we'll sell him for basically the same price.
Him or a similar profile, as I said before. I just dont think Matuidi is right player or even the right kind of player we need. Honestly, should a fit Asa be benched for him?
