Lucas Paquetá Pledges One More Season at West Ham, Signaling 2026 Exit

His stance reflects loyalty to a club that backed him through the FA case that scuppered a 2023 move to Manchester City.

Overview

  • The Brazil international posted on Instagram that it is "not time to say goodbye yet" and urged supporters to "go together for one more season."
  • Manchester City are reported to be on alert after being informed he would be open to leaving next summer.
  • Aston Villa made a late approach in the recent window, which he rejected after choosing to stay for this campaign.
  • He was cleared by an independent commission in July of four spot‑fixing charges and is considering legal action against the FA.
  • He remains under contract until 2027, meaning any departure next summer would depend on West Ham agreeing a transfer.
