Lucas Paqueta is expected to leave West Ham United this winter. According to BBC and The Athletic, he is close to returning to Flamengo. An agreement has been reached between Flamengo and West Ham for a transfer fee of 35 million pounds, which is more than 41 million euros.

On Sunday, Flamengo sent a new proposal for Paquetá for a fixed €41.25 million without performance bonuses, which West Ham approved to conclude the deal. The payment method is still to be defined. Flamengo has offered to pay in installments over three years, while West Ham prefers to receive the sum in 18 months. The clubs have started discussions to find a compromise on the number of installments, with optimism that a term between two and two and a half years could be agreed. Sources involved in the negotiation believe everything will be resolved by midweek. The progress was aided by West Ham's recent Premier League victories without Paquetá and the player's position that he does not wish to play for the club again. If a consensus on the payment method is reached, Paquetá will return to Flamengo immediately. In an interview with TNT Sports, Flamengo's president, Bap, said that an agreement has been reached on several important aspects, with only the payment terms pending. He also expressed pride in Flamengo's reputation for honoring its commitments.

ESPN confirmed that the negotiation between Flamengo and West Ham is nearing completion and that there is optimism about Paquetá's arrival. Flamengo president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP) stated that they are close and that the current difference is the payment method. He said an agreement has been reached on several aspects which he considers the most important. BAP added that he is balancing the desire of fans to finalize the deal quickly with his presidential responsibility to the institution not to make commitments that cannot be fulfilled. The president also said he is concentrating all his efforts on resolving this obstacle and that the frequency of contacts has increased from weekly to daily, and now to hourly, to make adjustments. However, BAP cannot say exactly how long this will take as West Ham's needs must be taken into account. He stated that they are attempting to adjust their ability to honor their commitments in what he described as a transaction of a type never before done in South America. According to ESPN, for the transfer to be confirmed, the parties came to a final agreement on a fixed price of exactly 41.25 million euros, which includes no additional bonus value.

Flamengo and West Ham have reached a financial agreement for Lucas Paquetá, with journalist Pablo Rua having first reported the information about the new proposal. The London club approved the sale of Lucas Paquetá for a fixed €41.25 million, without the inclusion of performance bonuses; ge provided details on this exact value. The current discussion is about the payment method, which ge reported is a point of dispute. Flamengo is offering payment in three years, while West Ham wants payment in 18 months. Discussions have started to find a compromise, with optimism that the payment schedule will be set between two and two and a half years. According to ge, Lucas Paquetá will return to Brazil immediately if consensus is reached on the payment method.

According to The Athletic, West Ham United rejected a proposal from Flamengo for Lucas Paqueta of 38 million euros plus 4 million in bonuses. This offer was higher than the 35 million euro bid received previously. West Ham is asking for around 60 million euros for Lucas Paqueta to depart. Paqueta is under contract until June 2027, and Flamengo may make another attempt with a new bid during the summer transfer window.

The Athletic reported that West Ham have rejected a bid from Flamengo for Lucas Paqueta worth an initial €35 million.

According to Globo.com, West Ham wants Lucas Paquetá to stay until May when the Premier League ends, although this is not the player's wish. Flamengo intends to adjust the proposed business model of 40 million euros, which includes a fixed part and bonuses, but does not plan to reach the 45 million euros that the English club wants. West Ham expects Flamengo to either increase the offer or to offer the 40 million euros as a fixed amount, not including bonuses. It is reported that Lucas Paquetá is no longer trying to convince West Ham to negotiate for him now. Coach Nuno Espírito Santo is following the discussion and has not used the player in recent games; Paquetá has not played since January 6th and will not be in the squad for the match against Sunderland. Flamengo needs to reach an agreement with West Ham next week to give the English club time to find a replacement. The possibility of Paquetá being available only in the mid-year window is not being considered by Flamengo, and if West Ham remains firm on this point, the negotiation may end.

According to ESPN, West Ham has indicated to Flamengo that it accepts the 40 million euros offered for Lucas Paquetá. However, the English club made new demands. According to sources, West Ham gave Flamengo two options: either pay a higher amount upfront or increase the fixed amount of the transaction. The information about the new conditions was published by UOL and confirmed by ESPN. West Ham does not accept the 35 million euros fixed proposed by Flamengo at this stage. Flamengo remains optimistic about an agreement but understands the negotiation may not be resolved quickly. The club wants Lucas Paquetá to be released as soon as payment terms are agreed. Flamengo does not consider raising the 40 million euros offered but admits it may renegotiate the terms. At a press conference last Thursday, West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo commented on the situation and expressed hope for a resolution.

West Ham coach Nuno Espírito Santo confirmed that Lucas Paquetá will not be listed for the match against Sunderland. The Brazilian has an agreement with Flamengo, which is still trying to finalize negotiations with West Ham to purchase the player. Last Thursday, Flamengo made an official offer of a fixed 35 million euros with an additional 5 million euros based on objectives, to be paid in installments. According to ESPN, the offer does not meet the value requested by the English club. Flamengo believes that an agreement can be reached by the end of January. There is considerable confidence at the club, and Paquetá's desire to return to the Rio de Janeiro club is a factor that supports the deal. He has had a verbal agreement for weeks to sign a four-season contract valid until December 2029.

West Ham United are set to reject a second official offer from Flamengo for Lucas Paqueta. Flamengo submitted an improved proposal, but sources close to West Ham insist owner David Sullivan dismissed the approach almost immediately. Suggestions in Brazil that the bid was close to £40 million have been strongly denied in east London, where insiders maintain the offer is significantly below West Ham's valuation. Negotiations between the clubs, which are conducted largely through intermediaries, remain active. There is a growing belief on all sides that an agreement will eventually be reached, though the structure and timing of any agreement are still being determined. One scenario being discussed is Flamengo completing a deal now but loaning Paqueta back to West Ham until March or potentially May, depending on the club’s relegation battle. West Ham chief Karren Brady and head coach Nuno Espírito Santo met directly with Paqueta earlier this week. It is understood that Brady clarified the club would prefer him to stay until the end of the season, while Paqueta reiterated his desire to leave this month.

According to Globo.com, Flamengo made an official offer to West Ham for Lucas Paquetá on Thursday, proposing €35 million fixed plus €5 million in bonuses. The amounts are not consistent with the terms West Ham sent in a proposal to Flamengo last week, with the English club having recently asked for €45 million. Meetings in recent days have brought some terms into agreement, and Flamengo was waiting for President Bap's return to Brazil to present the final numbers. A meeting on Tuesday involving the president, José Boto, and Filipe Luís finalized the details of the offer. Since the bid does not meet West Ham's request, Flamengo hopes the player's desire will help the deal progress. The club was not initially willing to exceed €40 million. The final point of disagreement in the talks is an immediate release; the midfielder and Flamengo want it in January, while West Ham is trying to keep him until May. Paquetá's desire has been a determining factor, and he has clearly stated that he wants to return to Brazilian football, even rejecting offers from other European teams. He has not been included in the squad and is in talks with West Ham seeking to leave.

José Boto, Flamengo's director of football, stated that negotiations with Lucas Paquetá are ongoing and require patience. According to Boto, Flamengo wants Lucas Paquetá, and the player also wants to join the club. Boto mentioned that there have been significant advances but described the negotiation as very difficult, identifying the main obstacle as high financial demands from West Ham. He explained that the amount discussed at the start of negotiations was 35 million euros. Boto also noted that the practice of Brazilian clubs, including Flamengo, paying in installments is one of several details complicating the discussions. He emphasized that West Ham is not convinced to sell Lucas Paquetá and described the transfer as involving a player of a very high level.

Vinicius Jr confirmed that his good friend Lucas Paqueta is nearing a return to Flamengo from West Ham.

Lucas Paquetá was at West Ham's training center on Tuesday (21) but did not participate in training. The player had another conversation with coach Nuno Espírito Santo, who is now open to the athlete's departure to Flamengo. Nuno Espírito Santo understands the midfielder's situation and the player's desire to return to Brazil. While he does not want to lose Paquetá, he now acknowledges the situation. The potential negotiation is being handled by the football department. According to reports, Flamengo has not yet made a new proposal for Paquetá. The club from Rio de Janeiro maintains its plan to pay a fixed €35 million, plus €5 million for objectives. West Ham has already agreed to reduce their asking price from €57 million to €45 million.

Vini Jr. stated he hopes for Lucas Paquetá to return to Flamengo. He said he asks their shared agents about the matter daily and also sends messages to Paquetá. Vini Jr. stated that he supports Paquetá's happiness, which he considers his own, and that he also considers Flamengo's happiness to be theirs. He also said it would be a perfect combination and expressed hope that Paquetá can finalize his contract in the coming days to have a successful year assisting Flamengo and the Brazilian national team.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Flamengo are preparing to return with a new offer for Lucas Paqueta this week as they continue their effort to bring the West Ham United player back to Brazil. The midfielder has agreed personal terms on a lucrative four-year contract, which is conditional on West Ham approving the transfer. Flamengo are ready to submit an improved formal offer in the coming days. According to sources close to the negotiations, the new bid may not be dramatically higher because Flamengo feel their first proposal was already competitive. West Ham have not yet accepted any offer and are maintaining their valuation. It is reported that Paqueta’s commitment to Flamengo’s proposal has accelerated discussions. The proposed deal would run until 2030. The club's board considers him a signing that would be transformational for their national and continental ambitions. Paqueta wants to leave the Hammers this month. While Flamengo are confident his desire will help advance negotiations, there is no guarantee their new offer will satisfy West Ham.

Lucas Paquetà remains a target for Flamengo, and the club wants to bring the player back. Sky Sports UK reported that there have been no new contacts between West Ham and Flamengo in recent days and that the last talks took place last week. Paquetà wants to return to Brazil for personal reasons and is open to playing for Flamengo again. The Flamengo management is working to bring him back.

According to ESPN, West Ham agreed to lower their asking price for Lucas Paquetá after a shareholders' meeting that took place over the last weekend. The English club now accepts 45 million euros for the midfielder, having previously wanted around 57 million euros. Flamengo's offer consists of a fixed 35 million euros, plus five million euros based on objectives. The club has a verbal agreement with Paquetá for a four-season contract. If the situation does not progress, Flamengo is prepared to wait until mid-year to make a new attempt. Lucas Paquetá is not satisfied in England and is receptive to a return to Brazil, giving priority to Flamengo.

Lucas Paquetá is reportedly close to a €40m move to Flamengo, in what would be a record-breaking deal for a Brazilian club. Marcos Watts, who is Transfermarkt’s Area Manager for Brazil, commented on the significance of Paquetá returning to his boyhood club. Watts described the transfer as a power-move by Flamengo for establishing dominance over South America and potentially changing the structure of Brazilian football. Watts noted that Paquetá would be leaving a traditional Premier League side as their star player to return home. According to Watts, this indicates a change in the level of Brazilian football. Watts also highlighted that Paquetá, who is arguably at his prime and not long after almost joining Man City, would be choosing to leave the strongest league in the world for a chance of becoming a legend in Brazil, with expectations that he will immediately dominate the league and establish himself as the best player in the country.

Flamengo and West Ham have reached an agreement on the financial terms for Lucas Paquetá. The transaction would be for a fixed €35 million plus €5 million in bonuses, according to information West Ham provided to Flamengo. Flamengo's previous offer was a fixed €33 million plus €5 million in bonuses, which they subsequently increased. A meeting is expected between the clubs that could lead to them getting closer to or finalizing an agreement. The remaining issue is the timing of Paquetá's release. Flamengo and the player want an immediate transfer, while the London club has asked that he stay until the end of the English Championship to assist in the effort to avoid relegation. Flamengo is willing to wait three months if necessary, but their priority is to acquire Paquetá as soon as possible. Lucas Paquetá has clearly indicated his desire to leave and is insistent on not playing any more matches until the situation is resolved. He is currently recovering from an injury. West Ham is reportedly seeking a replacement for Paquetá. The coach of West Ham stated that they have to resolve the situation regarding Flamengo's interest in the player.

Globo.com reported that Flamengo and West Ham are nearing an agreement regarding the values for Lucas Paquetá's transfer. The report specified the transaction would be for approximately €35 million fixed plus €5 million in bonuses. The primary remaining issue is the timing of the player's release. The English club informed Flamengo they will release the midfielder upon receiving an amount closer to what the Brazilian club is able and willing to pay. The final point to be settled is the date of Paquetá's departure, as the player and Flamengo desire an immediate release, while West Ham is requesting a loan until the conclusion of the English Championship. Paquetá has communicated to the English club his wish to join Flamengo as soon as possible. There is optimism from the Brazilian side about concluding the deal soon, and a meeting scheduled for Friday could help resolve the situation.

West Ham is willing to sell Lucas Paqueta to Flamengo this month, provided the deal includes an agreement for the Brazilian club to loan the midfielder back for the remainder of the season. Talks are continuing over the next 24 hours, and West Ham is seeking a price of approximately £40m. Lucas Paqueta wants to return to Brazil and refused to play in West Ham's FA Cup win over QPR on Sunday. Earlier this week, West Ham rejected a proposal from Flamengo that was worth up to £30 million.

Nuno Espírito Santo has stated that West Ham have to solve the Lucas Paqueta situation. Lucas Paqueta missed the FA Cup win over QPR on Sunday amid interest from his former club Flamengo. There have been suggestions that the Brazilian international is keen to return to his homeland. Paqueta has grown disillusioned with life in England after facing allegations of spot-fixing, which prevented his move to Manchester City in 2023. He was cleared of all charges last year.

West Ham now accepts selling Lucas Paquetá but proposed a business model in which Flamengo would have to agree to loan the player until the end of the English season because the club is fighting relegation and considers him an important player. This information was reported by The Guardian and confirmed by ge. The expectation is that the negotiation will be around 40 million euros. Flamengo has not yet made an official proposal, waiting for the player to influence the West Ham directors before presenting an offer.

A €40m offer from Flamengo has been rejected. Ben Jacobs has refuted claims that Lucas Paqueta went on strike to force a move to Flamengo. Jacobs also confirmed that the player attended training as normal and is still recovering from a back issue. The board is considering a sale, according to ESPN Brasil.

Lucas Paqueta wants to join Flamengo in a permanent deal and has informed West Ham about his desire to leave. Flamengo offered £30.3 million for the player, although Nuno Espirito Santo does not want to lose Paqueta in the January transfer window. According to journalist Rodrigo Mattos, West Ham have for the first time informed Flamengo that they are open to selling Paqueta, but a financial agreement has yet to be reached. Flamengo’s initial bid was £30.3m, and West Ham are believed to want £51 million. Personal terms were agreed days ago, and as per Fabrizio Romano, Flamengo is set to have new talks with West Ham over the next days.

Lucas Paquetá has formally informed West Ham United of his desire to leave the club and return to Flamengo. The midfielder has agreed personal terms with Flamengo, following discussions between his representatives and the club last week which resulted in a full agreement. According to Fabrizio Romano, Flamengo are preparing another round of negotiations with West Ham in the coming days. Sources close to Flamengo believe West Ham may be more open to a deal, particularly now that the player has pushed for the move. Flamengo will submit a new proposal in the coming days that is adjusted to reflect West Ham’s expectations. While the English club had previously resisted a January approach, insiders now sense the situation is changing.

Lucas Paquetá has communicated to coach Nuno Espírito Santo his desire to return to Flamengo. Journalist Pablo Rua was the first to publish the information about Paquetá's meeting with the coach. Flamengo is scheduled to meet with West Ham on Friday to continue negotiations. After Paquetá formally expressed his wish, West Ham has indicated a willingness to lower their initial asking price of 60 million euros. It was indicated to people involved in the negotiation that West Ham may be flexible on their initial price, acknowledging that Paquetá does not want to stay in England. Flamengo has not yet made an official offer, as they prefer to wait for Paquetá to influence the West Ham directors before presenting a bid. West Ham wants to retain Paquetá at least until the end of the season in May due to their fight against relegation. The player's contract includes a salary reduction clause if the club is relegated.

Lucas Paqueta wants to leave for Flamengo. According to Dean Jones, Paqueta is very firm in his desire to leave, while West Ham are not pleased with his plans and do not want him to depart at this time. Jones said he foresees a situation in which Paqueta might attempt to force the transfer. Bailey stated that Paqueta will attempt to force the move but will not go on strike. Paqueta has agreed personal terms in principle with Flamengo. David Sullivan wants a fee of £42m, approaching £50m, for the player, but Flamengo will not pay £50m or £40m. Because the Brazilian transfer market is open until March, there is a possibility Flamengo and West Ham could agree to wait. Bailey said there is a strong possibility that Paqueta will remain with West Ham for another two months.

Lucas Paquetá has a strong desire to return to Flamengo. According to ESPN, West Ham initially wants 50 million pounds for the player, while Flamengo is currently not considering offering more than 40 million euros. Lucas Paquetá will soon enter the last year of his contract and has indicated that he does not plan to renew. There is a verbal agreement between Lucas Paquetá and Flamengo, but despite wanting to leave, he will not force an exit from England. Paquetá presented himself and trained normally on Wednesday (14), and has indicated that he will not change his conduct.

Lucas Paquetá seems determined to leave the London Stadium, a situation that is giving Flamengo hope. A report from ESPN stated that West Ham will hold a meeting this week to discuss Paquetá’s valuation and a potential exit.

Brazilian journalist Raisa Simplicio claimed on 14 January that the 27-year-old is unlikely to play against Spurs. Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg has claimed that Paqueta has reported for training and his entourage are not ruling out his chances of playing in the match.

Journalist Renan Moura stated that Flamengo is expected to make a new offer to sign Lucas Paqueta in 2026, and the transfer could have a value of up to 40 million euros.

According to Globo.com, Lucas Paquetá has expressed his desire to return to Flamengo. Paquetá and Flamengo have held discussions on two occasions about a return, and their relationship was strengthened by the support during the trial for involvement in a betting scheme. In the past, Marcos Braz, former vice president of football at Flamengo, went to Paquetá's house to try to convince him to return to Rio de Janeiro, but the negotiation did not progress at that time. Paquetá also spoke with coach Filipe Luís and attempted to return, but was met with resistance from West Ham. The player has been pressuring West Ham for a release in this transfer window. The English club wants to receive 60 million euros, and Flamengo would be willing to pay up to 40 million euros. Paquetá has missed recent games and did not train this week in England; his team states he has a back injury.

Team Talk reports that Lucas Paqueta insists he will only leave West Ham United for Flamengo, and that personal terms have been agreed upon in principle. The report states that Flamengo has communicated with West Ham through intermediaries and has verbally affirmed a willingness to pay £30 million for Paqueta. It is also added in the report that David Sullivan wants a deal to start at £42.5 million, with other costs expected to bring any final deal to more than £50 million. A transfer later in the year is viewed as more probable, as Flamengo is willing to wait for Paqueta if necessary and could sign him in March while the Brazilian transfer window is open.

According to Globo.com, Flamengo received a positive indication from Lucas Paquetá for a return. The Flamengo board is trying to reach an agreement with West Ham and will have a new round of negotiations, probably on Friday. Flamengo intends to make a maximum offer of 40 million euros, but West Ham wants to receive more. The report states that negotiations with the London club began after Flamengo aligned contract terms with Paquetá, and the player's desire is considered an important factor.

While Lucas Paqueta desires to return to Flamengo, people close to the midfielder believe it would be better for him to remain in Europe. Paqueta is reportedly willing to leave England due to his treatment since an investigation into his alleged involvement in match-fixing began. The player has a contract with West Ham until June 2027.

Flamengo is negotiating with Lucas Paquetá for a potential return in 2026. The club has been in discussions with Paquetá and his staff for about a month, and contract terms such as values and duration are aligned. The main obstacle is convincing West Ham, which set an initial asking price of approximately 60 million euros. Flamengo initially defined 35 million euros as a possible offer and later projected to reach a maximum of 40 million euros, but this lower offer was rejected by West Ham, and this rejection was communicated to Paquetá's agents. Flamengo remains optimistic about advancing the negotiation. Paquetá has expressed a desire to return to Brazil and stated that he would only play for Flamengo. In a November 2025 interview with ge, Paquetá said he had two recent conversations with Flamengo. He said one included a proposal he declined due to accusations of involvement in a betting scheme, and another was an attempt that was blocked by West Ham.

Flamengo have made a €40 million (£34.7m) bid for West Ham United playmaker Lucas Paquetá. According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, a verbal agreement on personal terms between the 28-year-old and his boyhood club was done and confirmed. Flamengo are trying to finalise the deal with immediate effect. West Ham have reportedly rejected the opening approach, and Florian Plettenberg reports that the Hammers had blocked every offer so far. Flamengo are expected to make an improved proposal exceeding €40 million. A prominent insider on X claims that Paquetá is on an unofficial strike to make the move happen. Paquetá was absent from West Ham’s FA Cup victory over QPR, having reportedly asked not to be selected. Sources close to the player indicate he is disillusioned with life in England and is allegedly pushing for the move to return to a supportive environment in Brazil.

According to The Athletic, West Ham rejected the first offer from Flamengo for Lucas Paqueta. The Brazilian club reportedly made an offer of 35 million euros, but this amount is not sufficient for the English club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a full contractual agreement exists between Lucas Paquetá and Flamengo. Paquetá wishes to return to Brazil, and negotiations between the clubs have commenced. Flamengo wants to sign him this winter, whereas West Ham prefers to keep him until the summer transfer window. The player's desire is to leave London.

Lucas Paquetá has expressed a desire to return to Brazil during this winter transfer window. According to The Athletic, his preferred destination is Flamengo. Flamengo is the club where he grew up, and he dreams of returning there before the next World Cup. The club is prepared to offer approximately 40 million euros for his return to Rio de Janeiro, a fee that would represent the most expensive transfer in its history. West Ham has not yet decided whether to sell one of its key players in the middle of the season. According to sources close to the player, Paquetá will not be playing for West Ham next season.

According to an initial report by the English newspaper The Guardian, Flamengo has reached terms with Lucas Paquetá and he has agreed to return to the club, but an agreement with West Ham is still needed. The newspaper also reported that Paquetá is eager for the deal to be finalized and requested to be left out of the FA Cup match against QPR. Ge found that despite the progress with the player, the Flamengo management is cautious. They consider the transaction expensive and anticipate that West Ham will not easily release him. The negotiation is not considered close to being finalized.

Lucas Paquetá wants to leave West Ham and prefers to return to Flamengo. According to ESPN, if West Ham facilitates his exit, Paquetá is open to rejoining Flamengo and is prioritising the move over other European clubs. A budget of approximately 35 million euros (R$ 220 million) has been set aside by Flamengo for Paquetá, and West Ham is aware of this amount. An official offer has not yet been made.

Lucas Paqueta could leave West Ham in January, with both Aston Villa and the Brazilian club Flamengo being potential destinations.

Brazilian outlet Bolavip reports Flamengo are prepared to bid €30m (£26m / $37m) to re-sign Lucas Paqueta. Dean Jones of TEAMtalk has previously reported it would take an offer of more than £60m for West Ham to even consider allowing Paqueta to leave mid-season. Flamengo are unlikely to be able to afford that amount, so European suitors would likely have to make an offer for Paqueta if he is to depart.

In an interview with GE, Lucas Paquetá admitted that he negotiated with Flamengo on two occasions. He stated the first was in 2024 and the most recent was in the last transfer window in August of this year. The midfielder said he spoke with coach Filipe Luís, but there was no progress in the agreement. According to ESPN, Flamengo considered the value requested by West Ham for Paquetá to be too high, which made an agreement unfeasible. ESPN reports that the amount requested by West Ham could exceed 60 million euros.

Brazilian outlet Bolavip claims that Paquetá’s former club Flamengo are plotting a move to bring him back. According to the report, the club’s sporting director, Jose Boto, is in constant conversation with his agents and an official proposal is set to be lodged in January. Flamengo believe they will be able to buy the player after banking around €15m (£13m/$17.5m) from recent sales, and they expect to generate much more money by next year. The outlet adds that Paquetá is not 100% happy, giving Flamengo hope of a reunion, and that negotiations with the club are set to heat up.

According to Brazilian outlet Bolavip, Flamengo’s technical director José Boto is leading the effort to sign Paqueta. The report claims that Boto has been in constant dialogue with the midfielder’s representatives and is determined to make the transfer happen.

Over a year ago, during the Copa América, Flamengo contacted Lucas Paquetá's representatives and made a proposal of 15 million euros, assuming the risks in case of punishment, which was promptly rejected by West Ham. This offer was much lower than the current asking price after Paquetá's absolution.

The English tabloid Mail Sport reported that West Ham decided to sell Lucas Paquetá, and Flamengo is one of the possible destinations. However, Lucas Paquetá is currently under investigation by the Football Association (FA) for possible involvement in sports betting.

Lucas Paqueta is set to be cleared of spot-fixing allegations by the FA. Despite this, West Ham are open to selling him this summer. They have set an asking price of £30m. Previously, a move to Man City worth £80m was killed due to these allegations. Flamengo have shown interest in signing Paqueta. West Ham expect multiple offers from European clubs as well.

Lucas Paqueta, facing a potential lifetime ban from English football due to illegal betting issues, is under contract with West Ham. According to The Sun, he wishes to make a fresh start by returning to Flamengo, his former club where he was trained and began his professional career before moving to Milan. Flamengo is open to the idea, but West Ham's exorbitant price demand could complicate negotiations. The Hammers might ask for around 30 million GBP to fund necessary reconstruction work at the London Stadium.

Lucas Paqueta is expected to leave West Ham this summer due to personal problems and a desire for a change of scenery. Negotiations with Flamengo are progressing well. Flamengo aims to finalize the deal before the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States. Paqueta is open to returning to Brazil, but will wait for the outcome of the FA's investigation into alleged spot-fixing offences before making a final decision. Flamengo is seeking a loan deal with an optional buy clause, while West Ham prefers a sale to raise funds for a replacement.

Lucas Paqueta is set to leave West Ham United in the summer and is willing to accept a pay cut to join Flamengo. He has been linked with top clubs recently but faces a potential lifetime ban if found guilty of spot fixing charges. Flamengo is interested in boosting their midfield depth and quality with him. West Ham is looking to cash in on the player and might demand around £20 million for the transfer.

Lucas Paqueta is unhappy at West Ham United and wants to return to his former club Flamengo this summer. He is currently facing spot-fixing allegations, and if found guilty, he could face a lifetime ban. Regardless of the trial's outcome, he desires to return to his childhood club to revive his career.

Flamengo is interested in Lucas Paqueta, with informal conversations occurring. However, no official contact has been made with Paqueta or his representatives due to his ongoing legal situation. Flamengo's interest is contingent on the resolution of Paqueta's legal issues, as a severe sanction could internationalize and impact his career.

Lucas Paqueta is reportedly keen on sealing a transfer back to Flamengo, his former club in Brazil. He has struggled to recapture his best form for West Ham this season and is pushing to be allowed to leave the London Stadium. It remains to be seen if West Ham will sanction his exit, but he would like the chance to return to Flamengo.

West Ham is willing to sanction the sale of Lucas Paquetá at the end of the season, with Flamengo leading the race to sign him.

Lucas Paquetá might return to Brazil after a five-year absence. The Brazilian portal 'Lances!' reported that a meeting had already taken place between the 27-year-old's agent and José Boto, Flamengo's sporting director from the Brazilian Série A. Paquetá's contract with West Ham is valid until 2027, but his current situation in England is challenging. He is reportedly under investigation for illegal sports betting, accused of deliberately receiving yellow cards to benefit others. This situation could complicate the completion of the deal. The verdict in Paquetá's case is expected in March.

Lucas Paquetá's agent visited Flamengo's training center to meet with the sporting director, José Boto, indicating an openness to a possible return. However, Flamengo has not initiated any official steps towards this transfer. Paquetá is currently under investigation by the English Football Association for alleged involvement in sports betting related to yellow cards he supposedly received intentionally. The judgment is expected in March.

Lucas Paqueta posted a cryptic message on social media, suggesting a return home to Brazil. The message included lyrics implying a move, amid links to Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Botafogo. Despite the post, he played in the Premier League match against Bournemouth. Paqueta has been under pressure, with limited game time and a betting probe by the FA, which could pose a risk for any signing club.

Lucas Paqueta is reportedly ready to return to his boyhood club Flamengo next month. West Ham United are prepared to let the player leave, but they were hoping to use him in a deal to sign Igor Jesus from Botafogo. Paqueta has been accused of being involved in spot-fixing, which he denies, and he will face a hearing with the Football Association.

Flamengo has contacted West Ham for a loan deal, but the English club is only willing to let him go permanently. Andreas Pereira from Flamengo mentioned that there have been some conversations, but nothing concrete.

Paqueta is wanted back in Brazil by Flamengo. The uncertainty regarding alleged breaches of the FA's betting regulations might have persuaded Flamengo to look into loaning Paqueta, though West Ham maintain they have no intention of letting him leave.

Flamengo has contacted West Ham to attempt to bring Lucas Paqueta back to Brazil. Paqueta is under scrutiny by the English FA for alleged match-fixing, putting West Ham in a difficult position as he faces potential severe sanctions. West Ham is open to selling Paqueta but is not interested in a loan deal. The club paid around €60 million for him in 2022 and aims to recoup that amount. It is uncertain if Flamengo, coached by Tite, has the financial capacity to finalize the deal at this price.

Lucas Paquetá could return to Flamengo, the club where he grew up. Flamengo's management is in negotiations with West Ham to bring him back to Brazil. Contacts between Flamengo and West Ham have started, and a Brazilian delegation is expected in England in the coming days. West Ham might be willing to let him go, considering his disciplinary problems and the risk of suspension by the FA.

Lucas Paqueta, currently playing for West Ham and participating in Copa América with Brazil, is in negotiations for a return to Flamengo. Flamengo is interested in either a loan or permanent transfer. The negotiations started a month ago, but they are still in the early stages. West Ham is in a complicated situation with Paqueta due to serious accusations of match-fixing by the FA, which has led Flamengo to act swiftly, hoping to acquire him before any potential long suspension.

Lucas Paquetá is accused by the Premier League of illegal betting involvement. Flamengo wants to take advantage of this situation and bring him back to Brazil. His representatives also see a return to Brazil favorably as it might mitigate potential penalties from the Premier League.
