I tried everything I could to convince Him to jon PSG, but He has already made up his choice- you can take the Horse to the river but you can’t force it to drink water,’ Former PSG Neymer Jr has confirmed that his £80 countryman has agreed to join Manchester City instead of PSG
Manchester City is reportedly revisiting the idea of signing Lucas Paqueta from West Ham after their previous £80 million deal fell through due to the player’s involvement in an FA betting investigation. Despite the earlier setback, the club seems to be more willing to address the situation and bring the Brazilian international to Manchester.
In the meantime, Manchester City secured the services of Matheus Nunes from Wolves for £53 million, a player who occupies a similar position as Paqueta. However, Nunes has faced challenges in securing playing time with competition from the likes of Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez, and Mateo Kovacic. The imminent return of Kevin De Bruyne from injury by the end of January may further diminish the immediate need for Lucas Paqueta.
Nevertheless, it is evident that both Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain regard Paqueta highly. If their intention is to potentially transform Paqueta into a holding midfielder, especially in light of uncertainties surrounding Kalvin Phillips, Manchester City may consider pursuing a move for the West Ham player.
Additionally, the report indicates that Tottenham and Newcastle are closely monitoring Kalvin Phillips, potentially leading to a January transfer. This situation could affect Manchester City’s midfield options in the upcoming transfer window, making a move for Paqueta a plausible course of action.
