Man City want £85M Lucas Paqueta
£85M Lucas Paqueta by Gonzo
Reports this morning are suggesting that Manchester City hold a serious interest in Lucas Paqueta. No firm bid has yet to be made, however an offer does seem to be on immanent. It is also understood that Paqueta would be open to a move to the treble winners.
A tentative exploration has been made by City, which West Ham have deemed unacceptable. Sky Sports are currently reporting that the Hammers would do business at £85M.
The player himself is believed to be interested in the move, which is unsurprising.
The news is a bitter blow to West Ham, and quite frankly the last thing we need. Whilst Paqueta started his Hammers career slowly, he finished the season with a flourish. The Brazilan cost £50 million from French side Olympic Lyonais.
The Irons already lost Declan Rice and Gianluca Scamacca, and have £135m to spend.
