West Ham star Lucas Paquetá could be on the move again. English reports suggested he may change clubs in January 2026, but ESPN Brazil have now confirmed and expanded on that story, revealing that the West Ham midfielder is considering a transfer during the next window.
The Brazilian outlet says Paquetá has wanted a change of scenery for some time, but he never acted on it. The idea came back recently as West Ham struggle in the Premier League, sitting 19th in the table.
The club see him as a key player and don’t plan to let him go easily. Still, the midfielder worries that fighting against relegation could hurt his chances of going to the 2026 World Cup. He and his representatives are evaluating whether moving now would be the smarter choice.
Paquetá was cleared of betting accusations in July and remains under contract with West Ham until June 2027. This season, he has played ten matches and scored three goals, keeping his importance in the team despite a difficult campaign.
