The new trend on Instagram is to post photos from the year 2016. This Monday (19), the official page of Flamengo joined the wave and received a comment from none other than Lucas Paquetá, a target for the red-black team in the transfer market.

In the photo carousel from ten years ago, Flamengo published images of Lucas Paquetá, Diego Ribas, Willian Arão, Guerrero, and more. The youth academy product, who appears in two images, commented on the post with a red heart and a black heart. The message was enough to make the fans go wild.
Several replies to Paquetá's message appeared on the official Flamengo page. “Just come,” requested one. “Come back soon, kid,” pleaded another. “You're coming, right?,” asked another. “Come be happy, daddy,” commented yet another. In less than 20 minutes, more than 2,000 people had commented on the midfielder's message.
Currently at West Ham (ENG), Paquetá is in agreement with Flamengo and very close to signing a four-year contract. However, the English club is playing hardball and is asking for 40 million euros (R$ 250 million at the current exchange rate). Meetings in recent days, including this Monday (19), have been held to reach an agreement.
Due to the negotiation with Flamengo, Paquetá has not been training at West Ham. In fact, the midfielder missed the last two games of the team, against QPR (ENG) and Tottenham (ENG). The player has made it clear that he wants to return to his beloved team to regain his happiness.
Flamengo 'pushed it' by posting photos of Paquetá as memories from 2016. After all, the midfielder only played two professional games that year. However, starting in 2017, the scenario changed, and the youth product exploded in football, to the point of being sold to Milan (ITA) in 2018.
