Lucas Paquetá shows signs of dissatisfaction at West Ham and could be sold
Lucas Paquetá is expected to start in West Ham’s Premier League clash against Chelsea tomorrow (22), but the Brazilian midfielder is reportedly unhappy at the London Stadium and could leave the club this transfer window.
Paquetá’s Discontent at West Ham
Although a key figure for manager Graham Potter, Paquetá has reportedly become distant and less sociable at the club, according to Hammers News. The midfielder, once known for his cheerful presence, is now described as lonely and disengaged, even with fellow Brazilian teammates.
West Ham’s board had hoped that Paquetá would remain motivated after being cleared of sports betting charges, but the situation hasn’t met expectations.
Potential Transfer Options
Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Paquetá is considering a move this summer, having already been approached by multiple clubs. CFC News adds that representatives have even offered him to Chelsea, though the Blues are prioritizing negotiations for Xavi Simons, leaving Paquetá as a secondary option.
Contract and Performance
- Contract: Until June 2027
- Market Value: €28 million (≈ R$178 million)
- Last season: 36 appearances, 5 goals, 0 assists

West Ham are expected to seek a fee higher than his current valuation should a sale materialize.
