If West Ham United sell Lucas Paqueta in the summer transfer window, there could possibly be additional implications than merely losing the Brazilian.
West Ham could sell Lucas Paqueta to Manchester City in the summer transfer window, with the 26-year-old’s heart seemingly set on playing for the Premier League and Champions League holders next season.
In the summer of 2022, Paqueta made a £50 million transfer from Lyon to the Hammers (Goal). Since then, he has solidified his position as one of, if not the most, crucial players David Moyes has at his disposal.
The Brazil international is a major fan favorite at the London Stadium, and West Ham supporters now even higher regard him. This is due to his refusal to comment on rumors that he was considering a transfer to Man City when he was chatting with reporters while playing for Brazil on international duty. He insisted that he had too much respect for us as a club to talk about other teams.
Even though he hasn’t been linked to Man City, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he did sign a summer transfer to the Etihad.
The thought of losing Paqueta is obviously a hugely concerning one – he is just so important to the way in which we play. However, and without being too pessimistic, I actually think that we could face another big problem as well, if the former Lyon man does leave East London this summer…
West Ham could lose another player if we sell Lucas Paqueta
The Hammers face a big summer window ahead, with numerous new additions required.
If Paqueta is sold to Manchester City, Moyes will obviously have to replace him, that goes without saying.
Replacing the talented South American will not be an easy task, but Moyes might have some more hard work ahead of him.
