Overview
- Paquetá has told West Ham he wants to return to Flamengo, with personal terms already agreed, according to multiple reports.
- West Ham are open to a permanent sale only if the midfielder stays on loan until the season ends, with an immediate exit understood to require a much higher fee.
- Sources report Flamengo are preparing offers around £30–35m, and ESPN says West Ham would accept roughly £35m if the move is deferred to the summer.
- Nuno Espírito Santo considers Paquetá vital in a relegation fight, and the club attributed his FA Cup absence to a back issue as they seek to “solve the situation.”
- Paquetá has about 18 months left on his contract and, if the clubs agree terms, ESPN reports he is set for a four-year deal at Flamengo once the move is activated.
