Flamengo showed interest in signing midfielder Lucas Paquetá, currently at West Ham and the Brazilian national team. However, the negotiation faces significant challenges, as Paquetá is about to be tried in England for alleged involvement in sports betting manipulation. The possibility of a severe punishment, including a possible ban from the sport, makes its future uncertain.
According to information from GE, West Ham has set a condition to begin negotiations: it does not accept a loan, only a definitive sale. The English club considers that there is a great possibility that Paquetá will be punished and, therefore, prefers to sell the player before any court decision.
This represents a significant turnaround, considering that Manchester City were recently interested in signing the player for a high fee, but withdrew after investigations began. Mais Querido counts on the desire of the player who wants to return "home and breathe", to help with an immediate return.
FLAMENGO STRATEGY
Flamengo is exploring all legal possibilities to allow Paquetá to operate in Brazil, even if he is punished in England. The idea is to use loopholes and legal resources to ensure that the player can continue playing until a final decision is made. However, this strategy has an expiration date, as the English FA could ask FIFA for the punishment to be extended to the entire world, which would complicate the situation.
< p>PAQUETÁ IN THE COPA AMÉRICA
While Lucas Paquetá's future in football is still open, he continues with the Brazilian team in the Copa América, in the United States. The next match will be against Uruguay, valid for the quarter-finals, next Saturday. Paquetá's presence in the competition adds an additional element of complexity to the situation as Flamengo and West Ham try to reach an agreement.

Gerson's start at Zenit has been marked by difficulties. After leaving Flamengo shortly after the Club World Cup , the midfielder has yet to establish himself with the Russian team. He has been receiving few minutes on the pitch and recently missed the last game due to an injury.
This Sunday (31), information emerged that Al-Ittihad, from Saudi Arabia, opened talks to try to sign the athlete, just 45 days after his arrival in Russia . The news caught the attention of Flamengo fans, as the Joker left Brazil in one of the main transfers of the season.
Journalist Julio Miguel Neto reported that he spoke with Marcão, the player's father and representative. According to him, there has been no official contact so far from the athlete, who left Mais Querido to play for the Russian team.
" If anything came up, it was from club to club. I haven't been officially notified by anyone yet. I haven't offered him to any club ," the businessman declared.
Still, the possibility isn't ruled out, as it's common for Middle Eastern clubs to engage directly with teams before negotiating with players. It remains to be seen whether negotiations will progress in the coming days.
