West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta is reportedly keen on leaving the English Premier League club, with Brazilian side Flamengo reportedly willing to sign him. The Brazilian transfer window remains open until March.
The 28-year-old midfielder has been a key player for West Ham since joining from Lyon in August 2022, but he is said to be looking to return home to Brazil. Flamengo are ready to make an offer of Β£26m (β¬30m) for the Brazilian international, who is willing to take a pay cut to join the club.
West Ham's decision to sell Paqueta has been delayed due to relegation threats, with the club currently sitting 18th in the league. Despite this, it seems that Flamengo are among those interested in signing him.
Paqueta was cleared of spot-fixing charges in July after a two-year investigation. He is contracted to West Ham until the summer of 2027 and has the option of extending his deal by another year.
It appears that Paqueta's heart is set on returning to Brazil, with Flamengo being one of the few clubs willing to take a chance on him. Whether or not West Ham will be able to hold onto their star midfielder remains to be seen, but it seems unlikely given the club's desperation to stay up in the league.
