West Ham put Paquetá up for sale, Flamengo keeping tabs on the player | OneFootball

Why did West Ham (ENG) put Paquetá up for sale?

Flamengo dreams of signing Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG). In recent transfer windows, the English club refused to sell the Brazilian. However, starting from January 2026, the London team will be willing to negotiate the player.

According to former senior scout for West Ham and Manchester United (ENG), Mick Brown, coach Nuno Espírito Santo was not impressed by Lucas Paquetá’s qualities. For this reason, the Brazilian is up for sale in the transfer market.

However, it is important to note that West Ham will not make negotiations for Lucas Paquetá easy. Despite wanting to sell the Brazilian, the English club wants to receive a high fee to accept the transfer.

Does Paquetá want to return to Flamengo?

In a recent interview with GE, Lucas Paquetá said that he has negotiated twice with Flamengo in recent years. In fact, the Brazilian national team midfielder even spoke with coach Filipe Luís, but no agreement was reached between the parties. However, the doors remain open for the homegrown player.

– The second time, as incredible as it may seem, was when I already knew I could continue playing normally. That was when I felt an even greater desire to return to Flamengo. Maybe I shouldn’t even say this, but I had some conversations with Filipe (Luís), who is a friend, besides the work he is doing at Flamengo. I really showed my desire to return and also showed it to my agents — said Paquetá.
