Breaking News: Manchester City close to complete the deal Brazil midfielder after Arsenal blunt rejection rejection

Reports say that United Kingdom’s Manchester City are getting closer to completing a deal to sign Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United.

Last summer, Manchester City showed interest in the 26-year-old South American while they were still figuring out how to handle Kevin De Bruyne’s long-term illness.

But because the conversations got complicated when gambling claims came up and the case was still being looked into, Manchester City pulled out of all talks and turned their attention to something else.

But because the conversations got complicated when gambling claims came up and the case was still being looked into, Manchester City pulled out of all talks and turned their attention to something else.

In the end, a lot of money was spent on Matheus Nunes, a midfielder who used to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portugal. In his first seven months at the Etihad Stadium, he has shown flashes of his amazing skill.

City is still interested in Lucas Paqueta, even though Nunes was signed, and they may be about to sign their man in the next few weeks or months, based on the latest news about the situation.

“Tolmie’s Hairdoo,” a Manchester City insider on X, says that West Ham star Lucas Paqueta has turned down “enquiries” from Premier League rivals Arsenal about his current position and possible summer availability in the past few weeks.

It’s also said that Paqueta has told friends that he still “has his heart on a move” to play for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola. The player is said to be worth £85 million and is the “easiest” deal to make if he is found not guilty of gambling charges.

Lucas Paqueta has played 29 times in all games so far this season, scoring five goals and setting up six others. It has been a great season for one of West Ham’s best players.

Paqueta has only been with West Ham for a short time. The London Stadium team only signed him in the summer of 2022 for an unknown club record fee. Later news stories said the deal was worth more than £50 million, plus extras.
