Journalist: Palmeiras should hijack Flamengo’s Paquetá move | OneFootball

Flamengo and Paquetá are agreed, but they still need to convince West Ham (ENG) to release the Ninho do Urubu prodigy

The agreement between Flamengo and Lucas Paquetá is an excellent signing for some, but also a reason for jokes for others. This is because some believe that Palmeiras should try to outbid the Rubro-Negro to get the Ninho do Urubu prodigy.

— Palmeiras should intercept Flamengo in signing Paquetá. Palmeiras should sell Allan, take that money, and go to West Ham (ENG) to bring Paquetá. You would leave Flamengo with one less star and still bring Paquetá. Someone should have thought about Palmeiras -, advised journalist Ricardo Martins, from TNT Sports.

Paquetá at Palmeiras, Ricardinho?

The journalist, who is openly a Santos fan, made the statement after Santos' defeat to Palmeiras on Wednesday (14), with a goal by Allan. Thus, the reporter had the idea of selling the athlete from the São Paulo club to hire the Flamengo youth academy product.

Why is the idea of Paquetá at Palmeiras so funny?

Even though Palmeiras is financially strong, Paquetá himself has already turned down offers to stay in Europe. This is because the midfielder exclusively wants to play for Flamengo. Therefore, it is unlikely that the athlete would wear any uniform other than the Sacred Mantle.

So, when will the deal between Paquetá, West Ham (ENG), and Flamengo be made?

The date of the agreement is undefined, however, on Wednesday (14), the playmaker informed coach Nuno Espírito Santo that he does not wish to remain at West Ham. The midfielder's action prompted the English club to be more flexible in negotiations.

Thus, representatives from all parties will meet this Friday (16). The Rubro-Negro expects to negotiate 45 million euros (R$ 282 million), a value lower than the initial British demand.
