"It will have come as another heavy blow to the club as they battle through what has been a difficult start to the Premier League campaign. The Hammers have lost seven of the nine matches they've played so far, conceding 20 goals, and only Wolves have done worse."
"Paqueta is under contract until 2027. He was a subject of strong interest from Manchester City in 2023, when a deal was reportedly agreed between the clubs at around £85million, but then he was charged in relation to betting offences and City pulled out. The charges were later dropped, but City opted against renewing their interest."
"Aston Villa had made a good offer for the services of the 28-year-old this summer, but only a few days remained for West Ham to try and sign a replacement, so they decided not to sanction the move. A loan offer from Flamengo was also rejected."
Lucas Paqueta is keen to leave West Ham in January. West Ham have lost seven of nine Premier League matches so far, conceding 20 goals, with only Wolves having a worse record. Paqueta remains under contract until 2027. Manchester City pursued Paqueta in 2023 and a fee near £85million was reportedly agreed, but Paqueta faced betting-charge allegations and City withdrew; the charges were later dropped and City did not renew their interest. Aston Villa submitted a strong offer this summer, but West Ham declined because there were only days to find a replacement. A loan bid from Flamengo was also rejected.
