Lucas Paqueta disgusted, PSG returns to the charge

In search of strong elements for its midfield, PSG is closely monitoring the situation of Lucas Paqueta. The former Lyonnais certainly won the C4 with West Ham but he was disappointed by the Hammers season.

Will Lucas Paqueta make a resounding return to Ligue 1? Less than a year after leaving OL for West Ham, the Brazilian midfielder is open to leaving the London club. At the Hammers, Paqueta had a paradoxical season. Excellent in Europe since West Ham won the Europa League Conference against Fiorentina. The Brazilian had a solid European campaign, notably providing the assist on Bowen’s winning goal in the final. However, in the Premier League, it was harder with a mediocre 14th place and the fear of being relegated to the Championship. In addition, Paqueta is not in tune with his coach David Moyes and believes that the latter uses him badly.

Paqueta disappointed in England, PSG want to take advantage of it

Disappointed by this first English season and the level of West Ham, Paqueta is not reassured by the future with the probable departure of Declan Rice. A favorable context for PSG, which is aware of the frustration of Lucas Paqueta in London. According to 90min, the Parisian club is seriously considering recruiting the former Lyonnais this summer. Not a first since PSG was already following the player at OL, wanting to recruit him in 2021 then in 2022 before the latter left for England for 43 million euros.

In lack of a high-performance midfielder, PSG can only be seduced by the profile of Paqueta. Very good technically and concerned with defensive tasks, he knows Ligue 1 above all well. The idea of ​​joining his Brazilian friends Neymar and Marquinhos in Paris has something to seduce him. Nevertheless, West Ham will have to be convinced to sell him in the summer transfer window. The Hammers do not want to give up this important element of their workforce, under contract until 2027. They have a Europa League to play next season as well as a Premier League still as disputed. Only a good check from PSG could change the situation. To see if the Parisians want to bet as much on the 25-year-old player, a solid Brazilian international with 42 caps despite everything.
