One of the leaders of the Brazil national team and “West Ham” club, Lucas Paquetá, has escaped the most serious threat in his football career. Over the past two years, he has been accused of deliberately receiving yellow cards and betting on gambling in several Premier League matches, specifically against “Leicester”, “Aston Villa”, “Leeds United”, and “Bournemouth”.
Very heavy sanctions were imposed against Paquetá, including the threat of a lifetime disqualification. However, according to the latest information, all charges have been dropped from the Brazilian midfielder and he has been officially acquitted, reports TBR Football.
All the rumors and investigations around this situation had long suspended “Manchester City”'s plans to transfer Paquetá. In fact, the “Citizens” had already agreed to buy the player for 92 million euros in 2023, but the accusations prevented the deal from happening.
Now, Paquetá’s name is once again being linked with “Manchester City”. The Manchester side has begun to explore the possibility of adding the 27-year-old player to the squad again. However, this time the transfer fee is expected to be much lower, as his market value is now estimated at 28 million euros.
Last season, Paquetá participated in 36 matches for “West Ham”, scoring five goals and helping the team with numerous important actions. His current contract with the London club is valid for another two years.
Lucas Paquetá has played 55 times for the national team and, with his performance, has earned the trust of coaches and fans.
After these events, there is great interest in the football world in Lucas Paquetá’s future, his prospects at a new club, and what results he might achieve. All attention is now on his potential new transfer.
