A high-level delegation from Flamengo has arrived in England to engage in direct negotiations with West Ham United over the potential transfer of midfielder Lucas Paquetá. Flamengo's primary objective is to secure a loan move for Paquetá, allowing the Brazilian club to bolster their squad without a significant financial outlay. However, due to the complexities involved and West Ham's stance, a permanent transfer appears to be a more likely outcome.
The two clubs have maintained regular contact, and these face-to-face discussions are seen as a crucial step in reaching a mutually beneficial agreement. Flamengo is determined to bring Paquetá back to Brazil, where he previously made a significant impact before his move to Europe.
In addition to negotiations between the clubs, further talks are expected with Paquetá's representatives to ensure that all parties are aligned on the terms of the potential move. The outcome of these discussions will be pivotal in determining whether Paquetá will don the Flamengo jersey once again.
