Despite West Ham United’s success in keeping the Brazilian during the last transfer window, Lucas Paqueta still has his sights set on a move to Manchester City in the coming summer.
The Sun on Sunday (15/10; page 75) reported that the midfielder’s £85 million release clause will go into effect following this campaign.
Lucas Paqueta definitely has a claim to be considered one of the most talented players in the Premier League. He really improved for West Ham as last season went on. And he played a pivotal role in their historic Europa Conference League triumph
His performance was noted by other league players. According to reports from ESPN, Manchester City prioritized Paqueta highly on their list of prospective midfielders this past summer.
Lucas Paqueta is keen on a future move to Manchester City.
Naturally, nothing would move. However, it appears that the former Lyon player won’t be able to pass up the opportunity to relocate to the Etihad Stadium.
According to The Sun on Sunday (15/10; page 75), Lucas Paqueta still has his heart set on joining Manchester City next summer. And the Cityzens have the option to trigger an £85 million release clause in his deal.
David Moyes’ message to midfielder should be a simple one
Paqueta has not led speculation over his future impact his form. He has been outstanding for David Moyes’ side. Speaking to the Premier League website, Alan Shearer suggested that Paqueta was ‘magnificent’ earlier this season.
David Moyes may well be reminding him that he can boost his chances of joining City by continuing to steal the show this season.
And if he does leave, West Ham can be optimistic that they can continue to move forward. They have arguably improved since selling Declan Rice in the summer.
