According to ESPN reports, West Ham United player Paqueta is planning to seek a transfer after the 2026 World Cup, but he is expected to stay with the team in the upcoming January winter window.

West Ham United has a price tag of approximately 60 million euros for the Brazilian international. Paqueta himself admitted in an interview with Brazilian media that he was "very eager" to return to his former club Flamengo last summer and had communicated with the team's coach Felipe Luis.

However, out of loyalty to West Ham United, he did not force the transfer, and Flamengo was also deterred by the high transfer fee. This season, Paqueta has contributed 4 goals in 12 games while the team is in a relegation battle.
