Flamengo step up talks for Paquetá | OneFootball

This Sunday, Flamengo made progress in negotiations to sign Lucas Paquetá, currently at West Ham. The Rubro-Negro sent a new offer to the English club with a fixed amount of 41 million euros (about R$ 256 million). The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

West Ham reportedly liked the proposed amount, and the negotiation now revolves around the payment deadline. Paquetá, in turn, wants the move as soon as possible. However, initially, the English club is willing to sell the midfielder to Flamengo only from June onwards.

The English team is going through a tough time this season and is fighting against relegation in the English Championship.

Paquetá, who came through Flamengo's youth ranks, played for the professional team between 2016 and 2018. In total, he played 95 matches, scored 18 goals, and provided seven assists. Before joining West Ham, the Brazilian also had stints with Milan and Lyon.
