West Ham eye Kaio Jorge as Paquetá’s replacement, deal agreed with Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo offered R$ 188 million, the same amount West Ham is expected to offer for Kaio Jorge

Some say the football transfer window lacks excitement. After unsuccessful attempts to sign Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro, Flamengo turned its attention to Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG). With a possible departure of the midfielder, the English team is preparing an offer for the forward from the Minas Gerais club.

According to journalist Michael Rincón, founder of the site Fichajes de Fútbol, taking the forward from the Minas Gerais team would be a way to replace the midfielder, who might soon join the Most Beloved. Thus, the British club is preparing an offer of 30 million euros (R$ 188 million at the current exchange rate), the same amount offered by the Rubro-Negro and rejected by Cruzeiro.

Wait, what's the context with Kaio Jorge, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, West Ham, and Paquetá?

As soon as the 2025 season ended, Flamengo made at least three attempts for the striker. One of the proposals was for 30 million euros. However, Cruzeiro has always insisted on obtaining 50 million euros (R$ 313.4 million) to negotiate the player.
