"Coming back to Flamengo. A historic move. A milestone in the world football market, on par with Flamengo...Thank you to our sponsors, who invest in Flamengo, believe in the project and were part of the effort to make this return happen... and, above all, thank you to the Flamengo Nation, who push, believe and transform dreams into reality."
"Lucas Paquetá is coming home,"
"I'm very happy to return home,"
"I want to thank the Flamengo president, Flamengo and their sponsors. Of course, I also want to thank the fans who made this dream of returning possible."
Lucas Paquetá has returned to Flamengo on a permanent transfer from West Ham United for a fee of £35.8m ($49.4m), making him the most expensive signing in Brazilian club history. Flamengo described the move as historic and thanked sponsors and supporters for enabling the transfer. West Ham wanted Paquetá to remain to help their fight against relegation, but Paquetá, who had 18 months left on his contract, requested a return to Brazil ahead of the World Cup. Paquetá left Flamengo in 2018 for AC Milan, joined West Ham in 2022 from Lyon, was cleared in an FA gambling investigation, and recorded four goals and one assist in 18 Premier League appearances this season.
