West Ham (ENG) is willing to sell Lucas Paquetá to Flamengo. However, the English club has requested that the midfielder remain in England on loan at least until June. Flamengo fans, however, are not in favor of the academy graduate returning in the second half of the year.
In a poll conducted by Coluna do Fla, 371 people (61%) voted against Lucas Paquetá joining Flamengo in June. However, 237 (38%) Flamengo fans clicked ‘yes’, accepting the midfielder’s return only in the second half of the year.
According to a report by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo intends to pay 40 million euros (R$ 252 million). Of the total amount, 35 million euros will be fixed and 5 million euros will be in bonuses for goals established in the contract.
Lucas Paquetá’s priority is to return to Flamengo. Thus, the midfielder has agreed on salary terms and will sign a four-year contract with the Most Beloved. The focus now is to secure his release from West Ham.
While negotiating Paquetá’s signing, Flamengo is focusing its attention on the clash with Vasco this Wednesday (21st), for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
