There is an expectation that the clubs will get closer or even seal the deal for Lucas Paquetá. Currently, the decisive issue for Flamengo and West Ham to reach an agreement is the timing of the release.

What is the disagreement in the negotiation?

While Flamengo and Paquetá want an immediate transfer, West Ham is asking for the midfielder to stay until the end of the English Championship. The London club’s idea is for the player to help in the fight against relegation.

Thus, Flamengo does not want to give in, as they wish to have Paquetá as soon as possible. However, according to GE, the Most Beloved is willing to wait three months if the deal can only happen this way.

What are the values of the negotiation?

Now, Flamengo and West Ham have reached an agreement regarding the amounts. Thus, the deal would be for 35 million euros (R$ 217 million) fixed, plus 5 million euros (R$ 31 million) in bonuses.

With this, Flamengo is willing to make Lucas Paquetá’s return ‘home’ the biggest signing in the history of Brazilian football. It’s worth remembering that one advantage the Rubro-Negro has in the negotiations is the midfielder’s desire to return to Fla.
