West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who is a target for Manchester City, has stated that he will not make any public statements about his future out of respect for his current club. He emphasized his focus on performing well for West Ham and finishing the season strongly. Paqueta mentioned that any talk about a potential move to City is from the previous transfer window and he is currently focused on his current team.
However, Paqueta is facing an off-pitch issue as he is being investigated by the FA for allegedly placing bets on games. City may not make a move for him until the investigation is concluded. The outcome of the investigation is uncertain at this point, but it is expected that there will be more information in the coming weeks.
City had made an offer of £70m for Paqueta last summer, which was rejected by West Ham who demanded that the release clause of £85m be met. It is reported that City can sign Paqueta by meeting this release clause without having to negotiate further. The situation remains complex due to the ongoing investigations and potential developments in the transfer market.
