Flamengo have tabled a new bid of over £35 million for West Ham United forward Lucas Paqueta. The Brazilian club's offer, reported as 41 million euros, represents their latest attempt to lure the 26-year-old back to his homeland. Paqueta remains a key figure for the Premier League side, who are reluctant to part with him.

This renewed push comes after a failed move last summer, with Flamengo seeking to strengthen their attack for the 2024 season. Paqueta, a Brazil international, has been a crucial creative force for West Ham since his 2022 transfer. Losing him would leave a significant gap in their midfield, complicating their European ambitions.

West Ham's stance remains firm, but Flamengo's persistence signals their determination. The coming days will reveal if the Brazilian side can meet the Hammers' valuation. Paqueta's future could hinge on whether West Ham secures a suitable replacement before the window closes.
