Lucas Paqueta has been rumored to be dreaming of leaving West Ham and joining Premier League champions Manchester City next summer, according to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, October 15th, page 75).
According to reports, the Hammers star has an £85 million release clause that will go into effect in 2024.
The 26-year-old’s employment at the London Stadium beyond the end of this season will be something David Moyes will do anything to maintain.
Before it was discovered that he was under investigation for breaking betting laws, the Brazilian had reportedly agreed to join Man City in the summer.
Paqueta, though, hasn’t let his unsuccessful transfer to Manchester City ruin his West Ham campaign. In terms of helping us, he has been fantastic. The bad news is that he may not be delayed for long before leaving.
Lucas Paqueta is allegedly daydreaming about leaving West Ham, which is a crushing blow to David Moyes.
The Sun claims that the former Lyon player is dead set on leaving the London Stadium and joining Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
The attacking midfielder has been a standout performer in the Premier League thus far this season, proving that he is competent enough to play for Pep’s team.
Paqueta is technically outstanding, with incredible flare, and frequently displays his extraordinary talent. He doesn’t put on a show and always plays the defense.
The South American is as tough and combative as they come and will never give up in a fight.
Since Declan Rice departed the team in the summer to join Arsenal, Lucas Paqueta has taken on the position of the club’s talisman with Jarrod Bowen. Lucas Paqueta is the player who drives West Ham forward.
The 26-year-old’s departure to Manchester City would be a difficult pill for the Hammers to chew.
The good news is that he won’t be sold for less than £85 million, so even if we are forced to sell him, we will still net a sizable profit.
