Lucas Paquetá Seeks West Ham Exit After Reaching Agreement – Report
Lucas Paquetá Prepared to Leave West Ham United for a Return to Brazil, Reports GOAL
West Ham United are reportedly no longer considering Lucas Paquetá as indispensable and may sell him for a substantial offer.
With his trial for alleged betting offenses scheduled for March 2025, FIFA is expected to ban him from major competitions if found guilty.
Even if acquitted, Paquetá reportedly wants to return to Brazil.
The midfielder had reportedly agreed to join Flamengo during the last transfer window, but West Ham blocked the move.
Despite his desire to leave, Paquetá has shown improved form recently, scoring in a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth and even kissing the club badge on December 16.
As the January transfer window approaches, Paquetá’s future remains uncertain.
Mega-money offers, like those previously seen from Manchester City, are unlikely to materialize again.
A move to Brazil would involve minimal financial returns for West Ham, but if Paquetá is found guilty at trial, the club might find it best to part ways.
For now, Julen Lopetegui will focus on fielding his strongest team to address West Ham’s underwhelming season and secure his position at the London Stadium.
Paquetá’s situation will undoubtedly remain a focal point as the club navigates its challenges both on and off the pitch.
