Lucas Paqueta is eager to leave West Ham United in the summer transfer window, and Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are still interested in signing him, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer expert stated in his Daily Briefing on May 19 that a move for the Brazilian is a “story to watch” this summer.
Although Man City will continue to monitor any possible problems with “betting stuff,” he is still a top target for a signing.
Paqueta is eager to join Guardiola’s team because he sees himself as a “perfect player” going forward.
Is Lucas Paqueta too expensive for West Ham United to let go?
After joining the Hammers from Lyon two years ago, the Brazilian has emerged as one of the team’s most crucial players.
After that, he played 83 games at London Stadium, where he won the Europa Conference League in his debut campaign.
This campaign he has scored four and assisted six in the Premier League [FotMob] and has formed a great trio with Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen.
His ability on the ball while having the mindset to track back and contribute defensively is what makes him the player he is.
Add to this his versatility, which David Moyes has made the most of this campaign, and he proves himself as a very useful player.
In light of the uncertain management position at the London Stadium, Paqueta might consider moving elsewhere, much like his manager.
For the Brazilian, Manchester City would be an excellent opportunity to play under Guardiola and win championships.
Given his skill and significance to the Hammers’ roster, West Ham will be anxious to hold onto him.
