Within the last hour West Ham and Flamengo have concluded a deal to sell Lucas Paqueta.
A new higher fixed transfer fee of £36.5m has been agreed and payments terms including more cash up front have now been resolved.
Claret and Hugh have spoken to a top London Stadium Source who has confirmed “The reported figures are correct”.
The 28-year-old Brazilian will now be given permission to fly out to Brazil and undergo a medical before he signs his five-year contract with his South American former club.
A transfer source close to the deal confirmed reports that the deal has now been concluded around 12.30pm UK time and the player would now need to pass a medical before the contracts are signed.
The West Ham midfielder has been complaining of an ongoing back issue which has prevented him from training and playing but he is expected to make a miraculous recovery to pass his medical in Brazil.
It remains to be seen whether Paqueta’s position will be replaced in what remains of the transfer window.
What a miserable end. A talented midfielder who could have used WHU as a stepping stone to a big, successful club such as MC or whoever and made the club millions on the way, but instead has his career stopped for 2 years by the FA who get away with it scot free.
Not only that but he also had to put up with 2 of the worse managers to EVER work in the PL, in a club that gets into a European competition and is so badly run, the team is not PL standard and spirals down into a quagmire so bad, even fans & writers are wondering if the board want the club to fail and be relegated.
He is so sick of it he turns his back on the club, the team and the FA and heads back to Brazil to find some sanity.
Let’s hope we can all find some sanity & NES turns out to be a good’un.
Does the Transfer funds go towards new recruitment? Or was that money already spent, on players we’ve recently signed.
Well we’ve made him a multi millionaire now he can go home and play in the sun. Should ease his hardships.
Absolute disgrace of a player. We all stuck by him, the club kept paying his wages despite his below par performances and this is how he repays the the club, the board and the fans.
What a weak, selfish c**t. I used to really rate him but I’m glad to see the back of him.
The FA should compensate us for the £50M drop in value we should have got selling him before their pointless investigation that had no evidence.
Well it’s about time! Now I hope Sulivan uses the money wisely in this window
Whats the betting the money goes into sullys pocket and not back into new players?
Finally the waste of space has gone, l’ll have a beer tonight to celebrate
Thank for the (sadly too few) memories, Lucas. I hope the 2 years of support and backing were helpful. Appreciate the desire to repay that support since you were cleared.
Best of luck back in your homeland. It’s the right time for us both to part ways.
Of coarse he will make a miraculous recovery. Good Riddance !!
The board are so tight ITS NOT A SURPRISE All there interesed in is making money from our club BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS
Can we assume now that we have the funds for either Cresswell or maybe two less obvious candidates for the defense? What is max Hahn’s recommendation?
Hope the magic sponge is ready 🧽
Don’t forget to thank us for backing you over the last couple of years where your performance level caused us to lose games. Also your attitude in the Liverpool game where you deliberately got sent off when it was still 1-1 You can see the difference in the team now your not in it. Good riddance
Does he need a ride to the airport?
There goes the conspiracy theory.
I sincerely wish Paq the best.
He had his life turned upside down and we all seem to forget that he is human
Best outcome for the club as well.
This makes a mockery of the previous article!
Good.
