Flamengo has signed Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG). Therefore, the playmaking sector of the Rubro-Negro is stepping up a level with the midfielder. This is because the player stood out mainly for his decisive passes in England.
Paquetá played for four seasons in the Premier League, a championship considered the most competitive in the world. In his first year, for example, the playmaker made 32 key passes leading to shots in 28 league matches.
His creative style, however, is similar to that of Arrascaeta, the current King of America. Therefore, the duo will compete with each other in the stats, which will benefit the team led by Filipe Luís, a former teammate of the new signing on the Brazilian National Team.
Initially, the clubs had an agreement worth 41.25 million euros (R$ 256 million). However, the English side did not like the payment terms proposed by the Rubro-Negro. Thus, the Most Beloved raised the offer to 42 million euros (R$ 260 million).
Paquetá leaves London this Wednesday (28th) and is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday morning (29th). Then, the player will undergo medical exams and, after approval, will sign a five-year contract with Flamengo.
