Flamengo hope to have Paquetá fit for Supercopa v Corinthians | OneFootball

Lucas Paquetá's Name Needs to Be Published in the BID This Friday (30)

He's home! After a long negotiation, Lucas Paquetá is back with Flamengo and Brazilian football. On Thursday morning (29), the midfielder landed in Rio de Janeiro with a grand ‘AeroFla’ welcome. But will Fla have the player for the Supercopa do Brasil?

In summary, theoretically, Flamengo could register Lucas Paquetá for the Supercopa do Brasil until Saturday (31). However, Article 5 of the General Competition Regulations (RGC) states: “(…) enables his participation for the club in the Supercopa from the day following the publication date of his name in the BID (…)”.

This means Lucas Paquetá needs to be registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) by this Friday (30). Otherwise, Flamengo will not be able to include the midfielder in the squad list on Sunday (01).

How Was the Arrival in Rio de Janeiro?

As promised, Flamengo fans threw a big celebration to welcome Lucas Paquetá with one of the biggest ‘AeroFlas’ in history. A product of Fla, the midfielder made sure to mingle with the crowd to take photos, and he also sang and jumped along with the fans present at the airport on Thursday (29).

What Was the Value of the Negotiation?

Last Wednesday (28), Flamengo's offer to West Ham increased from 41 million euros (R$ 254 million) to 42 million euros (R$ 260 million). Thus, the English team accepted the terms to release Lucas Paquetá immediately.

It's important to highlight that Flamengo will pay 15.25 million euros (approximately R$ 94.545) upfront to West Ham. The remaining amount (26.75 million euros, or R$ 165.84 million) will be paid in four installments until 2028.
