According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the offer reaches the level of 40 million euros (about R$ 248.68 million), including fixed and additional amounts. The deal is still considered complex and requires a lot of patience from all parties involved, despite Paquetá’s desire to return to Flamengo.

Initially, West Ham would agree to sell the midfielder to the Rio team, as long as it happens from June onwards. The club is going through a difficult phase and is fighting against relegation in the 2025/26 English Premier League.

Paquetá came up through Flamengo’s youth academy. As a professional, he played from 2016 to 2018. He made 95 appearances, scored 18 goals, and provided seven assists. Afterwards, he played for Milan and Lyon before joining West Ham.
