Overview
- Paquetá has formally told West Ham he wants to leave for Flamengo after agreeing personal terms with the Brazilian club, according to multiple reports.
- Flamengo have prepared an offer of about £30.3m that could rise toward roughly £34.7m, as reported by The Telegraph via Football Insider.
- Manager Nuno Espírito Santo said the club must "solve" the situation, with Paquetá having missed the FA Cup win due to a back issue and his availability for Tottenham uncertain.
- West Ham are reported to be open to a deal if Paquetá can be loaned back to them until the season finishes.
- A fee in the low-£30m range would likely set a Brazilian Serie A transfer record if the move is completed.
