Lucas Paqueta transfer news: West Ham midfielder wants to leave to join Brazilian side Flamengo

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 (€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.
 
πŸ€” I gotta say, Lucas Paqueta has been a solid player for West Ham since he joined, but if he really wants to go back home to Brazil and Flamengo is willing to pay him that kind of money, it might be time for him to make a move πŸš€. The fact that he's taking a pay cut shows he's committed to making this work πŸ’Έ. West Ham's situation is pretty dire right now, sitting 18th in the league with relegation threats looming over them 😬. It's gonna be tough for them to keep Paqueta if they can't even secure their own spot in the Premier League πŸ†. I'm all for him chasing his dreams and playing for Flamengo again πŸ’ͺ #LucasPaqueta #Flamengo #WestHamUnited
 
πŸ€” I'm like, really sad if Paqueta leaves WHam. He's been a great player for us since he joined in 2022 and has always given his all on the pitch πŸ’ͺ. I get why he'd want to go back to Brazil, though - his family must be super important to him πŸ€—. It's tough for West Ham right now with relegation threats looming over them πŸ΄οΈβ€πŸŒˆ. I just hope we can find a way to keep our star midfielder or bring in some fresh talent to save us from the drop ⚽️. Flamengo, though, are taking a risk by signing him at Β£26m - I hope it pays off for them! πŸ’Έ
 
Ugh 🀯 I'm literally dying over here thinking about Lucas Paqueta leaving West Ham!!! 😭 He's such a talent and I loved watching him play at the London Stadium πŸ’ͺ But for real though, who can blame him? Brasil is calling his name 🌴πŸ’₯ 26m? That's still a pretty penny but Flamengo gotta make it happen if they wanna get their hands on this beast πŸ”₯. I'm so scared for West Ham atm, they need to sell ASAP or Paqueta will be gone and that would be a massive loss ⚽️. I guess only time will tell, Fingers crossed Paqueta gets the transfer he wants 🀞
 
Can't believe West Ham is selling Paqueta like this. Dude's been carrying that team for years and they're just gonna let him go? I get it, relegation is a nightmare and all, but Β£26m isn't even a bad deal for a top midfielder. They should be trying to keep him around if they want to stay in the league. Plus, he's cleared of those spot-fixing charges, so that's not an excuse to let him go either. Flamengo seems like a decent move for Paqueta but West Ham is really dropping the ball here πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
 
Ugh, this is so bad πŸ€• West Ham is already having a rough season and now they're gonna lose one of their best players? Lucas Paqueta leaving for Flamengo is not a surprise considering his desire to return home, but it's still a blow to the team. Β£26m is a decent offer, but I feel like West Ham should try to hold onto him considering he's under contract until 2027 πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Relegation threats are already weighing on them and this could be the final nail in the coffin πŸš«πŸ’”
 
man i think west ham is getting screwed here πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ paqueta is a key player and they're willing to sell him now? especially when relegation is a real concern for them? it's like they don't care about their own team's future anymore πŸ˜” flamengo seems like the obvious choice for paqueta, who wants to get back to brazil anyway... Β£26m isnt that much considering his skills i think west ham is gonna regret letting him go πŸ’Έ
 
I feel bad for Paqueta, he's been with West Ham since 2022 and has been a key player... πŸ€” But at the same time, I get why he wants to go back to Brazil - it's like that line from The Pursuit of Happyness, "You gotta fight for what you want"... 🌟 Flamengo is willing to make an offer and take a chance on him, which is awesome. West Ham needs to sort out their relegation issues first tho... πŸ’Έ Paqueta can't just leave because the club's in trouble... poor guys, I hope they figure it out soon... πŸ‘€
 
OMG u guys 2moro is gonna b so crazy if Lucas Paqueta leaves West Ham!!! I mean I know he's been doin well at West Ham but fam, Flamengo is callin his name 🀩 Flamengo is offerin him 26m and hes down 4 a pay cut!! That's like, so temptin for Paqueta! He deserves 2 b back in Brazil where he can shine with his national team πŸ‡§πŸ‡· I wish West Ham luck wiv stayin up in the league but if they cant offer him a decent contract, hes gotta consider his options πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
 
I feel bad for Lucas Paqueta, he's been with West Ham for a while now and has done pretty well. But at the same time, I get why he'd want to go back to Brazil - who wouldn't want to play for their national team again? And Flamengo is a big club, so it'd be a great opportunity for him.

I think West Ham's relegation woes are making them desperate to hold onto anyone with even a shred of talent. But Β£26m from Flamengo sounds like a decent offer, especially if Paqueta's willing to take a pay cut. It's hard to blame him really - his career hasn't exactly been the most stable lately with all this spot-fixing drama.

I'm curious to see what happens next though! Will West Ham sell or hold onto him? Can they turn things around and stay up in the league? Only time'll tell, I guess πŸ€”
 
I mean, Β£26m is a pretty decent offer for Paqueta, but I'm not sure if it's enough to make him want to leave West Ham right now πŸ€”. He's been with them since '22 and has become a key player, so you'd think they'd want to hold onto him. Plus, the club is in relegation trouble and needs all the help they can get πŸ’Έ. I'm not sure why he's already thinking about leaving if Flamengo isn't even offering him that much more πŸ€‘. Maybe Paqueta just wants out of this league or something? 😐
 
πŸ˜• Poor Paqueta... He's been through some tough times with that spot-fixing investigation and now he's struggling to keep his head down at West Ham πŸ€”. I can feel how frustrating it must be for him, wanting to return home to Brazil but unsure if it'll happen πŸ’”. Β£26m is a decent offer from Flamengo, maybe it's time for Paqueta to take the leap and follow his heart? 😊 Can only hope West Ham gets it together before it's too late for them...
 
omg i think west ham is gonna lose paqueta πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ this guy has been a beast for them since he joined and now they're struggling to keep him πŸ’” flamengo is stepping in with an offer that seems pretty reasonable too Β£26m isn't bad considering how good paqueta is ⚽️ i'm kinda sad to see him go tho, west ham needs players like him πŸ€• but i guess paqueta's heart is set on returning home so who can blame him? Brazil is where his heart is and now he might get a chance to shine for flamengo 😊
 
I'm so curious about Lucas Paqueta's situation right now πŸ€”πŸ’­ He's been a solid player for West Ham since joining, but it looks like he's itching to get back to Brazil πŸ‡§πŸ‡· It's no surprise, though - who wouldn't want to return home? 😊 I think Flamengo is taking a bit of a risk signing him at this price point, but they must be convinced he's worth the investment πŸ’Έ The West Ham situation is pretty dire if they're willing to sell him - relegation threats and all that 🀯 Hopefully, Paqueta knows what he wants and can make a smooth transition 😊
 
I don't get why everyone's going crazy about Lucas Paqueta leaving West Ham for Flamengo πŸ€”. I mean, sure, he's a talented midfielder and all, but 18th in the Premier League is not exactly a great spot to be in. And now they're willing to sell him because of relegation threats? That just feels like throwing good money after bad πŸ’Έ.

I've been following football for years, and I've seen this happen before - a player leaves, and suddenly everyone thinks it's a crisis. What's the big deal? He's going home to Brazil; he's happy. And Flamengo is willing to take a risk on him? Well, that just shows they're desperate too πŸ˜‚.

I'm not saying West Ham should be desperate enough to sell their best player, but at the same time...I don't know, maybe I just feel like this whole thing is overblown πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out!
 
Ugh man, can't believe Paqueta is leaving us already πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. He's been a solid player for us and we're gonna miss him. But I get it, he wants to go back home and Flamengo is willing to take a chance on him. Β£26m is still a lot of dosh tho πŸ’Έ. Relegation is a joke though, if we can't hold onto Paqueta how are we supposed to stay up? We need some decent signings in the transfer window or we're all done for 🚫😩
 
idk about this... Β£26m is a decent offer, but Β£30m? that's steep for a player who's still got 2 years left on his contract πŸ€‘ plus he got off scot free from those spot-fixing charges, you'd think west ham would be willing to keep him as a PR boost or something... but i guess when you're in a relegation battle, you'll do whatever it takes to stay up 😬 flamengo's gotta be happy about the prospect of getting him at a discounted rate tho πŸ€”
 
the drama is on πŸ”₯ with Lucas Paqueta leaving west ham for flamengo πŸ‡§πŸ‡·! i mean, you can't blame the guy for wanting to go back home, right? brazil has got a special place in his heart and he's willing to take a pay cut to join up with his boyz at flamengo πŸ’Έ. it's like, west ham is in a whole mess of trouble trying to stay up in the league and they're basically handing over their best midfielder for pennies πŸ€‘. i feel bad for paqueta though, he's been a key player since joining and now he's being pushed out the door because of circumstances beyond his control πŸ€•. it's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out πŸ‘€
 
I'm really shocked by this news! Lucas Paqueta is such an important player for West Ham and now he might just leave us? 🀯 I remember when he first joined, he was so hyped and had a huge impact on the team. It's crazy that Flamengo are willing to sign him now after everything he went through with the spot-fixing charges. €30m is a big offer, but Paqueta must be desperate to get out of this relegation struggle 😬. I hope West Ham can convince him to stay, but if not, it'll be a huge blow for us.
