A curious detail in the presentation of Samuel Lino by Flamengo resonated on social media this Tuesday (30). At a certain moment in the video released by the red-black club, a Google search bar appears on the screen with the question: "Where does Lucas Paquetá come from?". The image caught the attention of internet users and generated speculation about the excerpt.
Since the beginning of 2025, Flamengo has kept Lucas Paquetá 'on the radar' and closely follows the developments in the case involving the midfielder. Currently, the player, who belongs to West Ham (ENG), is under investigation by the English Football Federation for alleged involvement in sports betting manipulation. The uncertainty about the athlete's future, especially in English football, has generated caution on the part of Rubro-Negro.
Despite the investigation, West Ham continues to count on Paquetá normally in the squad. Sources in England indicate that the club views a potential sale favorably, as long as the values are around 30 million euros (approximately R$ 196 million at the current exchange rate).
Thus, if Flamengo advances with Paquetá, the club would have the chance to make the most expensive transaction in its history. According to an investigation by the Coluna do Fla report, the player is living a moment of reflection about his career future, and Rubro-Negro has respected this phase with sensitivity.
Revealed by Rubro-Negro in 2017, Lucas Paquetá has always shown affection for Mengão and the desire to return to Rio de Janeiro. In short, the possibility of 'repatriating' the player has been explored in recent years, especially after the emergence of allegations that could result in punishment in England.
