Lucas Paquetá is close to transferring to Aston Villa (ENG)

The transfer window in Europe closes this Monday (1st), and clubs remain busy behind the scenes as the deadline approaches. Thus, Aston Villa (ENG) is close to finalizing the signing of Lucas Paquetá, who was developed by Flamengo. In this way, the Most Beloved would be entitled to receive 4% of the negotiated amount.

According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, Lucas Paquetá would leave West Ham (ENG) on a one-season loan, and Aston Villa would be obliged to buy him in June of next year. The amount agreed between the clubs is 47 million pounds (R$ 345 million at the current exchange rate), and Flamengo would receive around R$ 14 million.

Flamengo is the club that developed Lucas Paquetá. Thus, the red-black team is entitled to 4% due to FIFA's solidarity mechanism. Therefore, if the deal is completed at this value, Mengão would receive 1.9 million pounds (R$ 14 million at the current exchange rate).
