West Ham verbally agree deal for Flamengo to buy Lucas Paquetá

West Ham Club Set for £36-40 Million Profit from Lucas Paquetá's Departure

The English Premier League club is poised to secure a significant transfer profit following the verbal agreement with Flamengo to sell Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paquetá. The deal, which is currently being finalized, could bring West Ham in excess of £4 million in profit.

Initially, West Ham had insisted that Paquetá return for the remainder of the season if they were to sell him. However, the club's manager, Nuno Espírito Santo, has now acknowledged that allowing the 28-year-old to leave would be the best solution, given his growing dissatisfaction with life in England.

Paquetá's departure is a result of his ongoing struggles since being accused of spot-fixing by the Football Association. Despite being cleared of charges last summer, he remains eager to return to Brazil and Flamengo. The Brazilian club has been keen on signing him, and their willingness to meet West Ham's demands suggests that Paquetá will soon be leaving East London.

By selling Paquetá, West Ham stands to gain a significant influx of funds to strengthen its squad. The club has already spent £47.5 million on strikers Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos but now needs to bolster its defensive and midfield lines. With new manager Nuno aiming to rebalance the team's recruitment, this transfer may prove crucial in securing their place in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Flamengo is confident that Paquetá will join them as soon as possible, a move that would provide a timely boost to the Brazilian club ahead of the upcoming season.
 
OMG you guys! 🤯 So like West Ham is about to make a sick £36-40 million profit from selling Lucas Paquetá? That's crazy talk! 💸 They've already spent over £47.5 million on strikers this year alone... and they're like "oh yeah, let's sell our only decent midfielder" 🤷‍♂️ I mean I get it, he's had some drama off the pitch but still 28 and a good player? 😕

But for real, have you seen West Ham's squad goals? They need like 2-3 more solid midfielders and defenders ASAP ⚽️ According to Transfermarkt, their average price per transfer is around £35 million... so they gotta make some smart moves here! 💡 And Nuno Espírito Santo's like "oh no, we can't keep him" 🤷‍♂️ Meanwhile Paquetá's just chillin' in Brazil, waiting for his next move...

Did you know that 75% of Premier League transfers are between £10-£30 million? So West Ham's profit is definitely on the higher end of that spectrum! 📈 According to Deloitte's Football Money League, the top 5 most profitable teams in the league made over £140 million in revenue last year... so this transfer could be a game-changer for them! 💸

Oh and btw, have you seen Flamengo's squad goals? They're like the dark horse of the Brazilian league 🐾💪 Anywayz that's my two cents on Paquetá's departure... what do you guys think? 😎
 
omg, u gotta think about the bigger picture here! selling lucas paqueta wont just be about the £4 million profit for west ham - its also about how it affects the whole squad and team dynamics. they've already splashed £47.5 million on 2 strikers, so do they really need that extra cash? and what about their midfield and defense? those are areas that need serious strengthening. i hope nuno's new strategy pays off because this transfer could make or break west ham's season
 
Ugh, another transfer saga 😒. I mean, can't these clubs just sort out their issues and let the players play? 🤦‍♂️ Paquetá's spot-fixing drama was one thing, but now he's just going to magically leave his problems behind and join Flamengo? 💁‍♂️ Give me a break. And West Ham gets £36-40 million for him? That's cute. I guess it's better than nothing, though 🤑. At least they're not broke or anything 😜. Still, can't help but feel like the real winners here are the clubs making money off all this drama 💸.
 
LOL @ West Ham thinkin they're gonna be all rich and stuff just 'cause some other team buys back their old player 🤑. Like, fair play, I guess, but 4 mil profit? That's just peanuts for a guy like Paquetá. What's the club really gonna do with that money? Buy another mediocre striker? 🤦‍♂️ Please. And what about all these 'fans' who were so mad at him when he was accused of spot-fixing... now they're just gonna be all "oh, poor Lucas" 🙄. Give me a break!
 
I'm not entirely surprised about Lucas Paquetá's departure from West Ham... 🤔 The way he's been struggling since the spot-fixing scandal is pretty worrying for the team's performance. Still, £36-40 million profit? That's a decent chunk of change to strengthen their squad 💸. But gotta wonder if it's worth losing such an experienced player... Paquetá might bring some quality to Flamengo at this point 🔄. Guess only time will tell if West Ham made the right decision 👀.
 
I think its crazy how people are judging Paquetá without giving him a chance 🤔. Spot-fixing or not, he's still got some great games under his belt and West Ham is basically cutting their losses by selling him now 💸. The FA was wrong to accuse him in the first place and it's unfair that its affecting his game 🤷‍♂️. He deserves a second chance and Flamengo needs him too! Its good for the club, and hes gonna be back stronger than ever ⚽
 
omg I'm lowkey surprised West Ham is gonna get so much cash outta this sale lol I mean Paquetá's been having a rough time since he got here anyway 🤷‍♂️ and now they're just letting him go for £36-40 million? that's like, crazy profit 💸 it makes sense tho they didn't want to keep him if he was unhappy so selling him now is the best move for them. Flamengo seems like a solid buyer too, I mean Paquetá's been wanting to get back to Brazil so I guess this is meant to be 🌴
 
OMG yooo Lucas Paqueta is outta there 🚫💸 and West Ham's gonna be raking it in 💸💥 I mean, £4m+ profit is crazy talk! Guess they were right about him struggling to adapt life outside Brazil 😂🇧🇷 Flamengo's getting a great player back tho 👏 Can't wait to see how this all plays out in the transfer window 🤔
 
Ugh, I'm so excited about West Ham's potential profit from Lucas Paquetá's departure 🤑! £36-40 million is insane! They really needed that cash to strengthen their squad after spending so much on Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos... £47.5 million was a lot of money for two strikers, if you ask me 💸. I'm glad Nuno Espírito Santo finally acknowledged that Paquetá's staying wouldn't be the best solution – it's clear he wasn't happy here 🤔. Now, West Ham can finally get some quality players to fill their gaps and maybe even make a push for the Premier League top 4 🏆. Paquetá's departure is a blessing in disguise for them!
 
OMG, I THOUGHT WEST HAM WAS GOING TO STRUGGLE THIS SEASON WITH THEIR DEFENSE!!! BUT NOW THAT PAQUETÁ IS LEAVING, I THINK THEY'VE GOT A CHANCE TO TURN IT AROUND 😅👍. £36-40 MILLION IN PROFIT IS CRAZY! THOSE FANS MUST BE DREAMING 🤯. AND FLAMENGO'S GOING TO BE SO STRONG WITH HIM BACK ON BOARD 💪. I FEEL BAD FOR PAQUETÁ, HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE ACCUSED OF ANYTHING 😔, BUT I GUESS THIS IS THE BEST DECISION FOR HIM TOO 👏. WEST HAM NEEDS TO SPEND THOSE FORTUNES ON GETTING SOME DECENT DEFENSE 💥👍
 
I'm all for Paquetá leaving, tbh 🤷‍♂️. Like, I get it, West Ham needs funds, but selling him like this is harsh 💸. The guy's been through some tough times, you feel? All that spot-fixing drama and now he just wants to come home 🏠.

On the other hand, it's a pretty sweet deal for West Ham 🤑. £36-40 million is a serious amount of cash 💸. They'll be able to strengthen their squad and maybe even challenge for some decent points 📊. But, I dunno... it feels like they're just cashing in on Paquetá's troubles 😔.

And what about Flamengo? They're gonna get an amazing player back, no doubt 🙌. I'm sure he'll be a game-changer for them 🔥. So, yeah, I guess it's all good vibes all around 🤗... or is it? Maybe I'm just being too optimistic 😒
 
I'm wondering if we should consider Lucas Paquetá's departure as more of a blessing in disguise for West Ham? I mean, they're getting a pretty sweet profit deal out of this, but let's not forget that the guy was in a spot-fixing scandal last summer. It's a bit dodgy, don't you think?

Still, it's hard to argue with the numbers – £36-40 million is a serious chunk of change for a club like West Ham. They've already splurged on some big signings this season, but they're still struggling in certain areas. Maybe Paquetá's departure will give them the financial freedom to bring in some quality reinforcements.

But what about Paquetá himself? He seems pretty keen on returning to Brazil and Flamengo. You can't blame him for wanting to get back home, I guess. Still, it's a shame that his stint in England has been so tumultuous. Maybe this is the best decision for everyone involved – West Ham gets the profit, Paquetá gets a fresh start... 😐
 
omg i just saw this thread and idk how i lived without seeing it lol 😂 what's up with west ham tho? they're literally giving away £4m profit 🤑 but i guess that's better than having paquetá around no drama needed 💁‍♀️ i mean, poor guy seems like he's struggling so much after the FA thing 🤕 but hey at least flamengo is getting him back where he belongs 🌴💚
 
I'm not sure I buy all this hype around Paquetá's departure 🤔. It seems like West Ham is more interested in making a profit than actually improving their squad ⚖️. £36-40 million is a pretty big chunk of change, but what are they going to do with it? Are they just going to splurge on some flashy signings or use the money to address real issues? 🤑 I'm also curious about why Paquetá's 'spot-fixing' allegations kept resurfacing even after he was cleared of charges... was that a clever way for West Ham to scare off potential suitors, or is there something more to it? 🤷‍♂️
 
£36-40 million profit from Lucas Paquetá's departure? That's still underestimating his actual worth 💸. I'd say they should be looking at £50-60 million if they can get Flamengo to cough up. Still, it's better late than never for West Ham, and now they can finally spend some decent cash on strengthening their squad 👍💪
 
I feel kinda bad for Lucas Paquetá, ya know? He's been struggling since the spot-fixing allegations and it's gotta be tough on his mental health 🤕. But at the same time, I get why West Ham is doing this move - they need the cash to strengthen their squad and stay competitive in the Premier League 💸.

It's also interesting how Paquetá's situation highlights the complexities of modern football transfers 🔄. The player wants to return to Brazil, but the club wants a big profit... it's all about finding that balance, right? And I'm curious to see how Nuno Espírito Santo balances his squad recruitment with this significant transfer out 💡.

On a side note, have you seen any updates on Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos' performances since joining West Ham? 🤔
 
aww man that sounds like lucas paquetá is goin thru some tough times 🤕 his career is gettin affected by these scandalous accusations and now hes just wanna go back 2 brazil 🌴 it's like, hes not even enjoying himself in england anymore 😔 i hope he finds happiness & peace at flamengo tho 💖 west ham's makin the right move by sellin him tho, dey need those funds 2 strengthen deir squad 💪
 
I think its wild how football transfers can be like a business deal 💸😬 West Ham's gonna make some serious cash from Lucas Paquetá's departure and now they gotta use that to strengthen their team ASAP ⚽️ It's crazy how one player's struggles can affect the whole club's dynamics 🤯 Flamengo seems like they're getting an awesome deal too, I hope they can bring in some fresh talent to shake things up 🔄
 
I'm SO GLAD TO SEE WEST HAM GETTING BACK ON TRACK FINANCIALLY!!! £36-40 MILLION IS A LOT OF CASH AND I THINK IT'S HIGH TIME THEY INVESTED IT INTO GETTING SOME PROPER PLAYERS ON THE PITCH!!! I MEAN, PAQUETA WAS NEVER REALLY A FIT FOR WEST HAM ANYWAY, HE JUST SEEMED TO BE GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS ALL SEASON!!! NOW THAT HE'S LEAVING, THEY CAN FINALLY FOCUS ON BUILDING A STRONGER TEAM AND GETTING SOME WINS UNDER THEIR BELT!!!
