The Rubro-Negra Nation is euphoric with the signing of Lucas Paquetá. A declared fan of Mengão, the commentator João Guilherme, from Flamengo TV, made a joke on social media to announce the return of the Cria do Ninho.
As soon as the movements about the closed deal between Flamengo and West Ham (ENG) for Lucas Paquetá began, the commentator João Guilherme posted a tweet as follows: “Listening to Roberto Carlos, O Portão: ‘I CAME BACK NOW TO STAY, BECAUSE HERE IS MY PLACE…’”. After that, fans flooded the post with comments.

Yes! After a long negotiation, Flamengo finally achieved a ‘happy ending’ in the signing of Lucas Paquetá. This Wednesday (28), Mengão reached a common ground with West Ham and sealed the signing of the midfielder.
For West Ham to ‘seal the deal’, Flamengo raised the offer from 41 million euros (R$ 254 million) to 42 million euros (R$ 260 million). Thus, the English team said ‘yes’ to Mengão, which will have the return of the Cria do Ninho with a contract valid for five years.
After the final agreement between Flamengo and West Ham, Lucas Paquetá is already preparing to travel to Rio de Janeiro. In summary, the midfielder leaves England still this Wednesday (28) and, therefore, the expected arrival of the Cria do Ninho in the ‘Marvelous City’ should happen in the early hours of Thursday (29).
