Lucas Paquetá's future at West Ham could be decided in the coming days . According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the midfielder is considering transfer options after being acquitted of sports betting manipulation charges . The transfer window remains open until early September, on Deadline Day.

Financial and sporting factors also weigh in on the English club's decision.

Flamengo is keeping its sights set on Santos goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão as its top target to be Agustín Rossi's immediate backup on Filipe Luís's team . The player has excelled for Santos, but negotiations are far from progressing.


Despite the Rubro-Negro's interest, Santos president Marcelo Teixeira has not made negotiations easier and remains resistant to the idea of releasing the player to a direct rival . The Alvinegro board, in fact, has expressed a preference for negotiating with European clubs.


R$44 MILLION OFFER REJECTED


According to information from André Hernan (UOL Esporte), Flamengo presented a proposal of 7 million euros (around R$ 44.2 million) for 70% of Brazão's economic rights . The offer was made this Friday (15), but was again rejected by Santos.

Santos's request is much higher: €15 million (R$94.8 million), plus performance bonuses . In other words, more than double the amount offered by the Rio de Janeiro club. Mengão is looking to replace Matheus Cunha, who has already agreed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro for next season.


IMPASSE MAINTAINED

With the rejection, the goalkeeper's future remains uncertain. Flamengo has not yet indicated whether it will make another move , but the difference between the asking and offering figures has kept the deal on hold. According to Transfermarkt, Gabriel Brazão has already played 64 matches for Santos, conceded 68 goals, and left the field 22 times without conceding a goal.
