It has been reported that Lucas Paqueta believes that he will become a Manchester City player this month.
This comes from the Daily Mail journalist Jack Gaughan, after it was claimed on Wednesday that Pep Guardiola’s men were set to launch an £80 million bid for him.
Now, it seems like Lucas Paqueta is aware that he looks set to join Manchester City sooner rather than later.
Jack Gaughan: Lucas Paqueta thinks he will join Manchester City this month
Branded as ‘magical’ by Claret and Hugh, the Brazilian international seems to be right on the top of the Sky Blues’ transfer wish list.
Especially after Kevin De Bruyne is set to be sidelined through injury for three to four months, his arrival has become a priority for the treble-winners.
Now, it has been revealed that West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta himself knows internally that he is set for a move to Manchester City this month.
This is an exciting update from a City perspective considering the transfer is yet to be completed in what has been a slightly underwhelming summer window from the English giants.
It seems like it is only a matter of time before Lucas Paqueta dons sky blue
Amidst the number of updates surrounding Lucas Paqueta and his potential move to Manchester City, there should not be a bigger headline-grabber than this very revelation.
It is expected that West Ham will drive a hard bargain while the seven-time Premier League winners will continue to try again and again in order to finally get their man.
But the fact that Paqueta himself is confident that he is set to sign for Guardiola and Co. indicates that his exit from the London Stadium is inevitable.
The quicker the move happens, the better for all parties involved as they can shift their focus towards moving forward.
