Last summer, Manchester City tried to recruit Lucas Paqueta. However, the deal collapsed since the Brazilian was singled out following a sports betting affair. But the Skyblues have not forgotten the former OL player as we revealed to you exclusively at the beginning of April. Indeed, according to our information, the Cityzens still have the former AC Milan player in their sights and a salary agreement still exists between the two parties. It would therefore only be necessary to reach an agreement on the amount of the transaction.
According to our new indiscretions, Manchester City is still discussing with the management of the Hammers to reduce the price demanded by the London club. Indeed, even if the Brazilian has a release clause of 85 million pounds (100 million euros) in his contract which binds him until June 2027 to West Ham, the Cityzens are doing everything to lower this amount. Breaking this clause would only be the last resort for the Sky Blues who hope to be able to save a few million on this file considered a priority. The negotiations, announced as complicated, are continuing in any case.
