Brazilian Lucas Paquetá is expected to be on the field this Thursday (22) in the duel between West Ham x Chelsea, for the Premier League. Considered one of the Hammers' main players, the midfielder trained with the starters and should start the match.
Despite his important role in the squad, Paquetá isn't having a good time at London Stadium. According to the English website Hammers News, the player no longer displays the same enthusiasm as before and is no longer the smiling figure who once commanded attention behind the scenes. He has recently become more isolated, even in relation to his own compatriots .
The situation worries West Ham 's board, which believed the athlete would be more motivated after being cleared in the investigation into alleged involvement in sports betting. However, the situation remains different than expected.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paquetá is considering changing clubs during this transfer window and has already been approached by several teams . However, there are no concrete negotiations yet. CFC News also highlighted that representatives of the Brazilian offered him to Chelsea, but the Blues have prioritized negotiations for Xavi Simons, which reduces the chances of an immediate move.
Paquetá is under contract with West Ham until June 2027 and, according to Transfermarkt, is valued at €28 million (approximately R$178 million) . The Hammers, however, would only open negotiations for a higher amount.
At the height of his 27 years, the Flamengo youth product played 36 matches last season , scoring five goals but providing no assists. In 2025/26, he has only appeared once so far, in the 3-0 defeat to Sunderland in the Premier League opener.
The player recently left the Tricolor and if he doesn't stand out in the Premier League, Mengão should look to sign him in 2026.

A fan favorite for Fluminense and currently playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers (ENG), midfielder Jhon Arias is back in the news in Brazil. According to journalist Julio Miguel Neto, Flamengo is already considering making an offer for the Colombian in the 2026 season.
Julio Miguel Neto on Fluminense idol: "in the middle of next year, Flamengo will be making an offer for Jhon Arias"
"You can tell me: in the middle of next year, Flamengo will be making an offer for Jhon Arias . This is all to Fluminense's dismay, you can write it down. They'll move a bunch of midfielders. If they do a good clean sweep, they'll let Pablo, Cebolinha, and Michael go. Sell Allan, loan Evertton Araújo; these guys are all useless," Julio stated on CanaldizFla.
According to him, there's already an internal movement at the club to monitor the player's situation in the Premier League. If Arias fails to establish himself in England, Flamengo could move forward with signing him, similar to what they did with Pedro, who joined the club from Fiorentina after leaving the club.
"If I'm Flamengo , in the middle of next year, listen to what I'm saying: I'm laying it on thick, it's something that already exists internally. If we let it go, to the dismay of Fluminense fans, in the middle of next year Flamengo will go after Jhon Arias . That is, if he doesn't perform well at Wolverhampton," he added.
After shining at Fluminense, Arias was announced by Wolverhampton Wanderers shortly after the Club World Cup . The transfer cost around 22 million euros (approximately R$142 million), with the English club acquiring 90% of the player's economic rights.
Wolves' number 10, the Colombian made his Premier League debut in a tough 4-0 defeat to Manchester City . The team is led by Vítor Pereira, former Flamengo coach, and also features Brazilians João Gomes and André.

Argentine striker Paulo Dybala, 31, has entered Flamengo's radar . According to journalist Jorge Nicola on the Arena SBT program, the Roma player has become the club's new top target for the coming years.
The deal would be supported by Betano, the club's new title sponsor. The company sees Dybala 's signing as not only a significant reinforcement on the field , but also a marketing opportunity with enormous potential returns.
According to Nicola, coach Filipe Luís has already given the green light for the Argentine's possible arrival. Despite this, the player is expected to fulfill his contract with Roma, which runs until June 2026. Dybala has been one of the Italian club's key players since his arrival in the 2022 season.
In recent months, Dybala has received multi-million dollar offers from Saudi Arabian football clubs, but Roma have declined to release him. Therefore, one option Flamengo is considering is to wait until January 2026, when it will be possible to sign a pre-contract with the striker.
If Dybala is signed, he will face stiff competition for a position in the red-and-black attack . The squad currently includes Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique, Everton Cebolinha, Samuel Lino, Michael, Matheus Gonçalves, and Gonzalo Plata.

Casagrande on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "He arrives big and leaves any opponent very worried"
With a spot in the Libertadores quarterfinals secured, Flamengo will now face Estudiantes of Argentina . This current run highlights not only the club's strength but also its well-executed strategy in its matches against Internacional.
" Flamengo is on fire in both competitions : leading the Brazilian Championship and comfortably qualified for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. They're coming in big and will leave any opponent very worried, and the problem this time is Estudiantes de La Plata," analyzed Casagrande.
The clash against Estudiantes is expected to take place between September 16th and 18th (first leg) and 23rd and 25th of the same month (second leg). Before that, however, Rubro-Negro will turn its attention to the Brasileirão. Next Monday (25), the team will face Vitória, at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 21st round.
