"He seems very adamant about the fact he's ready to go, and from what I heard on Monday, West Ham weren't particularly impressed by the way in which he's going about it. They don't want him to leave right now. I'm not saying he's totally thrown his toys out of the pram, but I can see a situation occurring here where he tries to force it."
"I think he will try and force it. I did speak to his people, they emphasised he won't be going on strike or anything. But as we know, there's many ways of trying to get their way with players. He does want to go to Flamengo. I think David Sullivan's a little bit frustrated with the fact that he's chosen Flamengo and he's agreed personal terms in principle."
"David Sullivan wants £42m, approaching £50m to wipe his feet on the player so he doesn't lose any money, but as we know, Flamengo are not paying £50m or £40m for a player. It's so fascinating. Let's not forget that the Brazilian transfer market goes on until March. I think there's a real chance Flamengo and West Ham agree to wait until March."
Lucas Paqueta wants to leave West Ham United and join Flamengo during the January transfer window. West Ham are reluctant to sanction a move midway through the season and are reportedly unimpressed by Paqueta's approach. Paqueta has agreed personal terms with Flamengo and remains insistent he will only move there despite interest from Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Saudi clubs. West Ham value the player at around £42–50m, a fee Flamengo are unwilling to pay. The Brazilian transfer window stays open until March, creating the possibility of delaying any transfer until then.
