West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been linked with a move away from the East London club in recent months.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, West Ham United are now prepared to sell Lucas Paqueta, but they will demand £75 million to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay that kind of money for the Brazilian midfielder.

There is no doubt that the 28-year-old is a quality player, and he has shown that in the Premier League with West Ham. He has the ability to play for bigger clubs as well. Paqueta is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge.

Signing the former AC Milan midfielder could prove to be a masterstroke for most teams in the Premier League, but the £75 million asking price is quite expensive. It seems unlikely that any club will be prepared to pay that kind of money for him. West Ham will have to be more reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.

West Ham need Paqueta

The Hammers are going through a difficult phase right now, and they are fighting for survival in the Premier League. It would make sense for them to keep Lucas Paqueta at the London Stadium until the end of the season. His departure in January would be a devastating blow for them, and it could push them towards the EFL Championship.

West Ham need to keep their best players if they want to stay in the top flight. Perhaps, selling the midfielder at the end of the season would be ideal. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Finding a club willing to pay £75 million for him in January will be difficult anyway.

The Brazilian midfielder will hope to join a team where he will be able to fight for trophies regularly. He has been fighting the relegation battle with West Ham since last season. Paqueta will look to take the next step in his career and join a big club now. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
