Farewell? West Ham share Paquetá video as Flamengo await his return | OneFootball

Lucas Paquetá will cost Flamengo 41.25 million euros (R$ 255 million at the current exchange rate)

Lucas Paquetá has barely left West Ham, but the English club already misses him. That's because the team's profile on TikTok posted, this Tuesday (27), a farewell-themed video for the midfielder. The player is expected at Flamengo this Thursday (29).

Watch the video:

“Amado Batista wasn't wrong when he said…”, the caption of the post reads, with the soundtrack being ‘Meu ex-amor’. “Meu ex-amor, tem coisas que a gente não esquece, mas você não merece tanta dor” (“My ex-love, there are things we don't forget, but you don't deserve so much pain”), says the lyrics as clips of the player are shown.

So, is Paquetá really coming back to Flamengo?

After weeks of negotiations with West Ham, Mengão finally reached an agreement for the Ninho do Urubu academy product. Thus, the midfielder will arrive in Rio de Janeiro this Thursday to undergo medical exams and sign the contract.

What are the terms of the deal?

In short, Flamengo has agreed on the exact amount it will pay West Ham for Lucas Paquetá. In this way, the Most Beloved will pay a fixed sum of 41.25 million euros (R$ 256 million at the current exchange rate) for the player.

The remaining detail is the value of the 2026 installment. That's because Fla divided the cost into five payments, up to 2028. There is an expectation that the situation will be finalized later this week.

Can Paquetá arrive and play right away?

The Most Beloved wants to have Lucas Paquetá available as early as the Supercopa Rei on Sunday (01). On that occasion, Rubro-Negro and Corinthians will compete for the title at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, starting at 4pm (Brasília time).
