English club join Flamengo in race for Lucas Paquetá | OneFootball

Product of Ninho do Urubu, Lucas Paquetá might leave West Ham, England

Although Flamengo fans are asking for it, midfielder Lucas Paquetá is increasingly likely to stay in Europe. This is because Tottenham (ENG) is in advanced negotiations with West Ham (ENG) for the player who came from Flamengo's youth academy.

It is believed that the English club is willing to sell the Brazilian for about 26 million pounds (£189 million) in January. This information comes from The Boy Hotspur page on X (formerly Twitter).

What is the situation with West Ham?

Unlike Flamengo, West Ham was desperate for an offensive reinforcement due to their delicate situation in the Premier League. Thus, Lucas Paquetá's team quickly closed a deal with Lazio for the signing of Taty Castellanos.

And what about Flamengo's situation?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues working behind the scenes to sign Kaio Jorge, a forward from Cruzeiro. The red-black team has already made a second offer to the Belo Horizonte club, but the agreement remains distant.

Flamengo offered 24 million euros (£155 million at the current exchange rate), in addition to Everton Cebolinha, who has a transfer value estimated at 8 million euros (£51.7 million). Finally, a 10% sell-on clause was included.
