Manchester City officials have been in contact with representatives of West Ham and Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta, a player the club has long admired. The Premier League champions are facing uncertainty in their midfield ranks this summer, prompting them to take serious interest in Paqueta. However, any potential move to Manchester is dependent on the ongoing Football Association investigation into betting allegations against the player.
Despite the investigation, Manchester City remains interested in Paqueta and personal terms are not expected to be an issue as he sees the club as his first choice. The player’s desire to join Manchester City has not wavered, even after a failed move last summer. However, the club may need to wait for the investigation to be resolved and other players to depart before a deal can be reached.
While Manchester City have also shown interest in young talents such as Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz from the Bundesliga, a move for Wirtz seems unlikely as Leverkusen’s CEO has stated that the player will stay with the club for the upcoming season. Despite the potential for other transfers, Manchester City’s focus on securing Paqueta remains at the forefront of their summer plans.
