Flamengo Pursues Lucas Paquetá's Return

Flamengo is reportedly making a significant effort to bring Lucas Paquetá back from West Ham. According to Brazilian media, the Rio de Janeiro club has submitted an official offer of €40 million for the 28-year-old midfielder. Paquetá, who joined West Ham in 2022 for €43 million from Lyon, is said to be keen on returning to his former club. Paquetá was recently cleared of illegal betting charges, but appears to be looking for a move away from London. He has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist in 19 appearances this season. Previously, Paquetá played 98 games for Flamengo and has 61 caps for the Brazilian national team. His return would be a major coup for the club. Flamengo appears determined to invest heavily in acquiring Paquetá, indicating their high regard for the player and their desire to strengthen their squad.
