“Manchester City” did not start the season very well and lost the English Super Cup to “Arsenal” (1-1, 4-1). “Citizens” do not refuse to attract a new midfielder and have already made an offer for the Brazilian from the Premier League.
West Ham United are not letting Lucas Paquet go so easily
Lucas Paqueta, brought in from West Ham United last summer for around €43m, made his presence felt in his first season as one of the main players for the Hammers.
The Brazilian is one of Pep Guardiola’s favourites, and he tells journalist Fabrizio Romano that the City have already submitted a €70m bid which West Ham United have rejected.

The two teams are still in talks over the €45m player after City missed out on Arsenal’s Declan Rice.
West Ham would like to keep Pacquet, but the player has already expressed his desire to move to Manchester City.
In the 2021/22 season, Lucas Paqueta was named the best foreigner in Ligue 1, then so was Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain.
