Courted by Manchester City for several days, Lucas Paqueta could stay at West Ham.

The transfer window continues in England. On the Manchester City side, it’s time for recruitment. To compensate for the departure of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, Pep Guardiola wants to strengthen his options in the center of the field. To do this, the Catalan coach looked to Lucas Paqueta. These last players, the attacking midfielder of West Ham was announced in the sights of the SkyBlues.

A first proposal estimated at 80 million euros has been mentioned. However, the Citizens encountered the refusal of Hammers who expect more than 100 million euros to sell the Brazilian international. The English champions even drew a second offer of 101 million to enlist the Brazilian. Without continuation.

Talks stalled

According to media information Sky Sports this Friday, discussions between the two Premier League teams are currently on stand-by. Even if the situation can still evolve, there is now a 90% chance that the Paqueta case at City will fail. A trend confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano who explains that the deal is about to fall through. Case to follow.
