For several seasons, Lucas Paqueta (27 years old) brought joy to Olympique Lyonnais. And even if the Brazilian wanted to stay with Les Gones, he finally agreed to join West Ham in the summer of 2022. There, the Brazilian international with 53 caps (11 goals) continued his momentum. He even caught the eye of Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. But his transfer failed since Paqueta was suspected of having participated in sports match fixing. Still at the Hammers, the midfielder, who proclaims his innocence, could leave England.
Indeed, The Sun reveals this Monday that his name is mentioned on the Botafogo side. The British tabloid assures that John Textor is a big fan of the player and that he would like to take advantage of the Hammers’ interest in his player Igor Jesus, whose price is estimated at €35 million, in order to attract Paqueta into his net. But it is not certain that the English like Paqueta are interested in this strange barter. Boss of Eagle Football and president of OL, the American businessman does not stop himself from dreaming.
