Earlier today, we relayed news from Brazil that Manchester City have made an offer for West Ham United’s Lucas Paquetá. It was also stated the 25-year-old is inclined to accept a move to the Etihad.
The midfielder is seduced by the idea of leaving the Hammers, a year after he joined them from Lyon.
That’s according to Foot Mercato, who state the West Ham star has ‘already said yes’ to Manchester City.
It’s down to the two clubs to find an agreement for the deal to take shape and this seems to be the ‘hardest part’.
The report states the Premier League winners have made a verbal offer of around €80m and it won’t be enough to convince David Moyes’ side.
The Brazil international’s deal is until 2027 and it’s said West Ham want ‘at least €90m’ to consider his sale this summer. If they were to sell him, Foot Mercato say Lyon will receive 10% of the fee.
Having sold Declan Rice to Arsenal for a British-record fee, West Ham could now see Paquetá move elsewhere. The South American scored five goals and seven assists from 43 games last season.
