Overview
- Multiple reports led by The Times say Paquetá wants a January exit, with West Ham in 19th after seven losses in nine league games.
- West Ham blocked a late-window approach from Aston Villa in the summer and rejected a Flamengo loan, after the midfielder was cleared of betting allegations in July.
- Sources briefed to talkSPORT insist West Ham do not want to sell mid-season and say Paquetá has not formally asked to leave, as the player posted a lighthearted X message that downplayed the speculation.
- Media coverage has floated a potential £60m valuation for winter interest, though the figure is reported rather than confirmed by the club.
- Manchester United have reportedly asked West Ham for details on a potential valuation, with Newcastle and other Premier League sides also linked as the situation develops ahead of the window.
