As West Ham United continue to negotiate with Lyon for the transfer of Lucas Paquetá, it seems that an agreement with the player is something they don’t have to be concerned about anymore.
According to claims from Brazil, the midfielder already has a personal deal for a contract with the Hammers.
It’s Lance! who says Paquetá is ‘very close to sealing his move to West Ham’, as he should sign a contract until 2027. According to the report, the parties already have an agreement even though the inclusion of a release clause is still being discussed by the player’s representatives.
The outlet claims that even though the player is ‘happy and adapted’ in France, he ‘sees with good eyes’ the move to England, as he’s seduced by featuring in the Premier League and Europa League with the Hammers.
Although Lance! comes up with this interesting claims about the personal agreement, they seem to have no information on the talks between West Ham and Lyon, taking news from the French media to point out that the London side made a new bid for the midfielder on Thursday.
