A story published by The Times on Tuesday suggested that Paqueta was keen to depart the struggling Premier League side, having been denied a move to Aston Villa during the summer.
According to the report, the Brazilian international, who is under contract until 2027, was eager to join Villa after being cleared of spot-fixing allegations in July.

The playmaker posted a picture on X, formerly Twitter, showing him smiling in his West Ham kit alongside his two sons, Filippo and Tiziano, at the London Stadium. The post was accompanied only by a smiling emoji.
Paqueta has been a vital player for the Hammers since his arrival from Lyon in 2022, recently surpassing 100 appearances for the club. He has also earned over 50 caps for the Brazilian national team.
