West Ham turn down Flamengo bid for Lucas Paquetá | OneFootball

Flamengo's Official Proposal for Lucas Paquetá Sent This Thursday (22)

Flamengo formalized a proposal to West Ham (ENG) for midfielder Lucas Paquetá this Thursday (22). However, the English club rejected the offer, indicating they expect to receive at least 45 million euros (approximately R$ 283 million at the current exchange rate).

The proposal from Flamengo was 40 million euros (about R$ 250 million), with 35 million euros (R$ 219 million) fixed, plus 5 million euros (R$ 31 million) in bonuses. Thus, the terms did not please West Ham.

IS THERE ANOTHER ISSUE BESIDES THE VALUE?

Another obstacle in the negotiation is that Flamengo wants to have Paquetá in this window, while the English club intends to release him only in May, at the end of the European season. The information was first reported by the British radio talkSPORT and later confirmed by Coluna do Fla.

HAS FLAMENGO HAD A PROPOSAL FOR PAQUETÁ REJECTED BEFORE?

Before formalizing the first proposal for Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo had alignment meetings with West Ham, but no official proposal had been made previously. Thus, the first formal attempt occurred this Thursday (22).

DOES PAQUETÁ WANT TO PLAY FOR FLAMENGO?

Flamengo has already agreed on the contract details with Lucas Paquetá, including a four-year duration. Thus, even with the lengthy negotiations with West Ham, the club relies on the player's interest in returning to Brazil.

This is because Lucas Paquetá has already informed West Ham's coach, Nuno Espírito Santo, of his desire to leave the English club. Currently, the midfielder is sidelined from team training due to back pain.
