The ‘Lucas Paquetá’ saga is close to a happy ending for Flamengo, who are on the verge of finalizing the signing of the player. After West Ham (ENG) accepted the financial offer from the Mais Querido, Fla is now working to have the midfielder available for the Supercopa.
According to journalist Cahê Mota, internally, Flamengo expects the signing of Lucas Paquetá to be finalized in the coming days. With this, the red-and-black club is working with the idea that the midfielder will arrive in time to be available for the Supercopa do Brasil next Sunday (01).
It’s worth noting that West Ham (ENG) accepted the offer of 41 million euros (about R$ 255 million) for Lucas Paquetá. Initially, the red-and-black offer was 35 million euros (R$ 219 million) fixed, plus another 5 million euros (R$ 31.2 million) in bonuses.
Currently, the only disagreement between Flamengo and West Ham is regarding the payment terms. That’s because while Fla wants to pay the amount in installments over three years, the English club wants to receive the payment in just 18 months.
It’s important to emphasize that the president of Flamengo, Bap, has confirmed that the agreement with West Ham is close. According to the president, the Rubro-Negro is only seeking to reach a common ground regarding the payment terms. That’s because Fla prioritizes fulfilling what has been agreed with the English team.
