Paqueta is available at £85m for Manchester City, with a release clause triggered before 1 July. He’s keen on joining after initial talks last summer.
United’s desire for Paqueta is weakened by an £85m release clause in his contract, as they are currently powerless to achieve a higher price.
The Irons are currently predicting that the Brazil international will move on at the end of the campaign.
West Ham’s £85m transfer could potentially bring in a new world-class striker, despite Paqueta’s potential departure. The club’s success can be attributed to the Declan Rice sale, and the £85m sum could potentially be used to recruit a new player. David Moyes has been criticized for his actions in the loss.
