City have a personal agreement with the Brazilian in place over his wages as they prepare to sign him in the summer transfer window, <a href="https://www.footmercato.net/a8407137144695156237-manchester-city-revient-a-la-charge-pour-lucas-paqueta" target="_blank">Foot Mercato</a> reports. However, the reigning European and English champions are still to strike a deal with the Hammers over a transfer fee.

WHAT HAPPENED?

City attempted to sign the midfielder from the east London team last summer, but they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/lucas-paqueta-man-city-85m-before-betting-investigation/blt67d21d11705745cf" target="_blank">pulled out of the reported £85 million deal because an investigation into alleged betting breaches</a> was opened up by the Football Association (FA).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Paqueta, who has scored eight goals and registered seven assists in all competitions this season, recently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lucas-paqueta-failed-80m-man-city-transfer-west-ham/blt2c32486668dfa55b#csefaf4341498c3754" target="_blank">opened up about the investigation into his alleged betting activity</a>, saying: "It’s been seven months since it’s been happened and I’m co-operating, doing what’s in my power so that it can be resolved."

DID YOU KNOW?

Paqueta's current contract at West Ham runs until 2027, though there is an option to extend his stay for another year. West Ham, then, could hold out for a similar £85m ($108m) fee from City this year before they agree to let him go.
