Flamengo is planning to present a revised bid for Lucas Paquetá this week as they intensify their efforts to bring the West Ham United midfielder back to Brazil, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
The 28-year-old player has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms for a four-year contract, indicating his strong inclination toward making the transfer happen, contingent upon West Ham’s consent.
After an initial offer of approximately €40 million was submitted, Flamengo intends to deliver an enhanced official proposal shortly.
However, insiders believe that the new offer may not significantly exceed the previous one, as Flamengo considers their initial bid sufficiently competitive for a player who is entering his prime and wishes to return home.
West Ham Maintains Firm Position on Paquetá
West Ham United, on the other hand, has not accepted any offers and stands firm on its valuation.
The Premier League club recognizes Paquetá’s significance as one of their most talented and marketable players, which complicates the negotiation process.
The Hammers aim to secure the highest possible transfer fee while bracing for the possibility of losing a key player who has greatly contributed to their creativity since his arrival from Lyon.
Paquetá’s commitment to Flamengo’s offer has accelerated the discussions.
He is fully dedicated to the terms proposed by Flamengo, which would last until 2030, marking him as a key signing for the club.
Flamengo has eyed Paquetá since last year, considering him a game-changing acquisition in terms of both sporting performance and the club’s aspirations on national and continental stages.
