Manchester City are believed to have agreed personal terms with West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta, though the Premier League champions remain in discussion with Hammers officials about a fee. City officials tried to sign the midfielder last summer but pulled out of the deal after an investigation into alleged betting breaches by Paqueta. City are prepared to return with a similar offer of around £85 million, which would meet the Brazilian's release clause.
Paqueta is a top priority for City boss Pep Guardiola, aiming to build on a record fourth consecutive league title. Guardiola admitted being closer 'to the end' of his City tenure, making Paqueta's potential arrival timely for the club to aim for a fifth consecutive league title.
