Lucas Paquetá on Flamengo return: shares feelings, family's wishes | OneFootball

Flamengo announced the return of Lucas Paquetá last week

Lucas Paquetá is back at Flamengo, after leaving in 2018 for international football and returning as the most expensive signing in the history of Brazilian football. After his return, the midfielder commented on what his first feeling was when he was announced by the Most Beloved.

— Well, I think it was a lot of euphoria, right? The joy of everyone seeing me back and mine as well, for being here and meeting everyone again. Everything was very rushed: there were only two days of training, I’m still adapting to the situation at home, those things I need to sort out little by little. But without forgetting to celebrate and enjoy being here — he began.

— It’s a moment of great happiness, not just for me, but for my whole family. It was a wish of mine, my wife’s, and my children’s. So, little by little, things are falling into place. It was all very emotional and euphoric — he concluded.

HOW MUCH DID FLAMENGO PAY FOR LUCAS PAQUETÁ?

Flamengo had to open its wallet to secure the signing of Lucas Paquetá. That’s because the red-and-black team shelled out 42 million euros (R$ 260 million at the current exchange rate) to close the deal with West Ham (ENG).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Lucas Paquetá available, Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (04). The team, led by Filipe Luís, faces Internacional at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second round of the Brazilian Championship.
