Manchester City set to return with fresh bid for Brazil international

Man City are reportedly gearing up to launch a fresh bid for Lucas Paqueta from West Ham after a previous agreement fell through. According to sources cited by Football Insider, City are ready to rekindle their interest in the Brazilian ace.

Last summer, Manchester City had an £80 million deal in principle to secure Paqueta's services, only for it to collapse due to an FA investigation into betting allegations.

Despite this setback, sources suggest that City is undeterred and determined to make another move for the talented playmaker.

West Ham, who made a club-record signing of Paqueta for £51 million from Lyon in 2022, is now looking to capitalize on the player, hoping to turn a profit.

Meanwhile, City has maintained its interest in Paqueta and is said to be prepared to reignite their pursuit in earnest this summer.
