The Flamengo is close to completing the signing of midfielder Lucas Paquetá, currently at West Ham (ENG). If the player is acquired by the red-black club, he will become the 26th former teammate of Filipe Luís to be coached by the current manager of the Most Beloved.
Paquetá did not work with Filipe Luís at Flamengo, but rather in the Brazilian National Team. The midfielder played twice with the current red-black coach for Brazil, in friendlies against Qatar and the United States. In total, they were partners on the field for only 27 minutes.
It is worth remembering that Lucas Paquetá and Filipe Luís were called up for the Brazilian National Team in the 2019 Copa América. Under the command of Tite, former red-black coach, the duo did not play together.
Among the players who play or have played with Filipe Luís, there are 15 from the current Flamengo squad: Rossi, Danilo, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Varela, Ayrton Lucas, Arrascaeta, Allan, Saúl, Pulgar, Cebolinha, Michael, Bruno Henrique, Luiz Araújo, Pedro, and Evertton Araújo.
Finally, nine other players played with Filipe Luís at Flamengo but have already left the club. They are: Gerson, Wesley, Matheus Gonçalves, Matheus Cunha, Cleiton, Victor Hugo, Fabrício Bruno, Gabigol, and David Luiz.
Lucas Paquetá met in England this Friday (16). In this meeting, the parties discussed important points of a possible agreement between West Ham and Flamengo. Thus, the clubs may close the deal in the coming hours.
