Paquetá Transfer: Flamengo & West Ham Standoff

With this, the selling club can take this contract to a bank, which advances the money to the club, charging the appropriate fees. But these rates vary depending on the buyer’s origin.

If Flamengo were an entity linked to an environment with Financial Fair Play, negotiations would be easier for the English. However, no matter how much the red and black people pay their bills on time, they are from Brazil.

And in South America there is no regulation, therefore, the bank abroad that receives the contract as guarantee to advance the amounts to the athlete’s seller imposes another fee. Higher, of course.

Abroad, the banking institution knows that Bournemouth will pay Vasco for the purchase of Rayan, for example, as the Premier League club is under the strict rules that exist there. It’s not the case.

With this, West Ham asks the Rio team to pay a higher amount in the first installment, contrary to what the Brazilian and Libertadores champions intend to do. The greater the volume of money put forward, the more expensive the operation can be.

This means that West Ham, given this scenario, may want more than the 41.25 million euros. He knows that Lucas Paquetá no longer wants to play there. But he is also aware that, if he continues to miss the matches, he should not go to the World Cup.
