West Ham remains firm in its position of only selling its athlete at the end of the Premier League, starting on May 25th. Flamengo wants to have the player immediately.
The positive point is that the English agreed to reduce the intended values. Initially, the Hammers wanted 45 million euros (R$280.4 million).
Even with the refusal, the Gávea club did not give up on Paquetá. The red-black president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, will meet with the board to try to formalize a new proposal with another business model. Fla understands that the transaction is a game of patience.
At the same time, Paquetá and his staff continue with the same position of signaling to West Ham their desire for a transfer to Flamengo. The midfielder is out of tomorrow’s match against Sunderland in the Premier League, but for physical reasons. He continues to have a back injury.
West Ham coach Nuno Espírito Santo held a press conference yesterday. At the time, he confirmed Paquetá’s absence and hopes that the English club and the player will find a solution.
Everyone knows my opinion about Lucas, I’ve already talked about it, but for this game (against Sunderland) he won’t be mentioned. We have to deal with the situation day by day, and try to find a solution. I hope Lucas and the club can find a solution so we can move forward
