Paquetá set to join Flamengo, visits training ground with Arrascaeta | OneFootball

Flamengo Fans are Excited to See Arrascaeta and Paquetá Playing Together in the Red-Black Midfield

Everything is set between Flamengo and Lucas Paquetá for the midfielder to return to Brazilian football. However, at the moment, the Most Beloved still has the task of convincing West Ham (ENG) to negotiate the player. Meanwhile, the athlete has already been at the Ninho do Urubu training center with Arrascaeta.

Traded by Flamengo in 2018, Lucas Paquetá visited the red-black facilities at Ninho do Urubu the following year. Thus, in May 2019, the midfielder went to Fla's training center, where he did some exercises and met some former teammates.

On that occasion, Lucas Paquetá was even 'caught' alongside Arrascaeta, who had joined Flamengo in January 2019. Now, the possibility of the two players playing together in the red-black midfield has excited the Fla fans.

And now?

Now, Arrascaeta is one of the biggest leaders of the Flamengo squad. Captain and number 10, the player has an enviable resume, with 16 titles won. Paquetá, on the other hand, left Fla very young.

Thus, the Red-Black Nation is thrilled with the possibility of seeing the Flamengo captain playing alongside the Ninho's Prodigy. Finally, negotiations between the Most Beloved and Lucas Paquetá's current club continue.

How are the negotiations going?

Currently, Flamengo is betting on Lucas Paquetá's desire to wear the Sacred Mantle to convince West Ham to close the deal. In summary, the red-black club and the player have been in talks for about a month.

In the meantime, the terms of a contract, such as values and duration, are aligned with Paquetá and the midfielder's staff. However, Flamengo still considers the negotiation complicated, as it needs to convince West Ham to release the player for the amount that the Most Beloved desires.

What are the values involved in the negotiation?

Initially, according to Coluna do Fla, West Ham wanted 60 million euros (R$ 375.95 million) for Paquetá. This amount Flamengo will not offer. As a result, Flamengo made a proposal totaling 35 million euros (R$ 219.30 million) to the English team, which promptly rejected Fla's offer.

Thus, Flamengo intends to reach approximately an offer of 40 million euros (R$ 250.6 million) to West Ham. Therefore, the Most Beloved is betting on Paquetá's desire to make a deal below the value requested by the English team.
