Manchester City have concrete interest in
West Ham star who only signed for the
Hammers last summer
Manchester City have a strong interest in
West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá and could make
a move for the Brazilian before the end of
the summer transfer window.
First reported by Marco Conterio, Fabrizio
Romano has also carried the news, stating
that talks took place with West Ham this
week to make the transfer happen but
negotiations will not be easy.
A deal will cost Man City at least £70m,
according to Conterio, and it remains to be
seen if the Manchester club submit an
official bid in the coming days for the
Brazilian talent.

coffin with brilliant fourth for Barcelona
West Ham only completed the signing of
Paqueta last summer as part of a deal worth
around £51m with Lyon.
The 25-year-old had a positive first season in
English football and often showed his talent
within a struggling West Ham team. Had the
Hammers provided him with a lethal
goalscorer upfront, the Brazil international
would have had more than the four goals
and three assists he bagged across 28
Premier League matches.
£70m is a big price for Paqueta but he is a
star that the Premier League champions
clearly like. It would be a huge blow to West
Ham to lose the midfielder after already
losing Declan Rice this summer, which
would put them under a lot of pressure for
the rest of the transfer window.
