Between club and player, there is already a contractual agreement for a four-year contract. Paquetá, in turn, pressures the English to be released, a factor that contributed to the progress of the talks. Without the athlete’s will, the Hammers would not even agree to talk to Flamengo at the range of prices offered.

The crucial point for Rubro-Negro to make the proposal official was the return of President Luiz Eduardo Baptista. Bap was in Europe with his family and, after returning from vacation, met with José Boto and the football department to approve the offer sent. Now, the ball is in West Ham’s court to define Paquetá’s future.
