West Ham Imposes Price Tag on Lucas Paquetá Amid Growing Interest from Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal.
West Ham United has reportedly set a hefty price tag for midfielder Lucas Paquetá as interest in the Brazilian intensifies from several Premier League giants, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal.
Paquetá, who joined the Hammers from Lyon in 2022, has become a key figure in David Moyes’ midfield, showcasing his technical ability and vision in the heart of West Ham’s setup.
However, with his performances attracting attention from top clubs across England, the East London club is now prepared to cash in on their star player should the right offer come in.
According to sources close to the club, West Ham has slapped a £85 million valuation on the 26-year-old, a figure that reflects both his talent and the current market value for top-tier midfielders in the Premier League.
The Hammers are under no immediate pressure to sell, given Paquetá’s contract runs until 2027, but they are well aware that the allure of Champions League football may prove difficult to resist for the Brazilian.
Liverpool has reportedly shown the most interest, with manager Jürgen Klopp seeking reinforcements in the middle of the park after an injury-hit season.
Manchester City, meanwhile, is looking to bolster their squad after the departure of veteran midfielder Ilkay Gündogan, while Arsenal views Paquetá as a potential upgrade to their midfield options as they continue their pursuit of a Premier League title.
Paquetá’s skill set—characterized by his creativity, passing range, and defensive work rate—makes him an attractive prospect for these clubs, and it’s expected that the upcoming transfer windows will see serious negotiations take place.
For now, West Ham remains firm in their valuation, keen to ensure they get maximum value should Paquetá decide to leave.
