The window is about to be closed! Brazilian media: West Ham offers 50 million for Paqueta, Tottenham Villa Everton competes

Brazilian media globo reported that Villa, Tottenham and Everton chased Paqueta at the last moment of the transfer window, and West Ham United asked for 50 million pounds.

After clearing the suspicion of gambling allegations, Paqueta started the new season with a two-goal performance in three games and attracted the attention of three Premier League clubs: Villa, Tottenham and Everton.

West Ham has made it clear to its competitors that they will not sell the Brazil international for less than £50 million. Even though there are only three days left before the transfer window closed on Monday and negotiations are difficult, the behind-the-scenes dialogue continues.

In the final sprint stage before the market closure, Villa was the most sincere club and planned to propose a formal acquisition plan for Paqueta. About ten days ago, Tottenham had led the battle, but their enthusiasm for chasing Paqueta cooled down after the deal to introduce Xavi Simmons was finalized.

Since its acquittal, West Ham has shown the market that any offer below £50 million will not be accepted. Paqueta's contract with West Ham will expire in June 2027 and includes a one-year renewal option.

Although Flamengo fans are actively mobilizing on social media, returning to Brazilian football is not a priority for Paqueta at present, in terms of career planning or the amount involved. The innocence ruling almost eliminated the possibility of his return, as his market value has returned to European levels.

More than a year ago, Flamengo had contacted the players' team and formally proposed a 15 million euro offer, while willing to bear the risk of players being punished, but the offer was quickly rejected by West Ham United.
