Manchester City is reportedly highly interested in West Ham United star Lucas Paqueta and is actively working on a potential transfer deal ahead of the summer transfer window. There has been speculation surrounding City’s interest in Paqueta, with journalist Fabrizio Romano confirming the club’s continued monitoring of the player. City had previously looked at Paqueta last summer but a FA probe into his alleged betting activity had halted any potential deal.
Despite the ongoing investigation, it is believed that City would pursue a deal with West Ham for Paqueta once he is cleared. Romano mentioned that City had come close to signing Paqueta last summer and the club still values him as a potential addition to their squad. With a good relationship between City and West Ham, it is likely that discussions will resume for Paqueta’s transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window.
If the betting probe is resolved in Paqueta’s favor, it is highly probable that Manchester City will make a move for the £150,000-a-week player this summer. Romano’s comments suggest that City is already laying the groundwork for a potential swoop for Paqueta. The Brazilian midfielder has been performing well for West Ham this season and City views him as a valuable asset to strengthen their squad.
