According to reports, west ham could be ‘close to leaving’ west ham this summer amid interest from man city.
The 26-year-old has emerged as one of the west ham player after joining hammer during the 2022/2033 campaign.
Last season,west ham enjoyed an improved campaign following the arrival of head coach Julen loeptegui and Lucas impressed, scoring two goals this season
Lucas was a key player in the Brazil team that player in 2024 Copa America and his performances have caught the attention of man city, who are reportedly considering a move for the attacker.
The premier league champion were initially expected to sign Lucas on a free transfer in 2025 until Man Utd beat them in the race to sign the 18-year-old earlier this summer.
Following this blow, man city presumably remains in the market for a new attacker and they are reportedly considering signing Lucas.
According to a report in England ,west ham ‘would sell’ Lucas to man city, who are the ‘most determined’ club interested in the Brazil international.
It is boldly claimed that Lucas‘could be close to leaving’ amid interest from man city, who have been ‘surprised’ by the fee ‘requested’ by west ham
‘ man city has shown great interest in the attacker and has already initiated contacts to learn about the conditions of his potential transfer
‘With a contract valid until 2027, west ham has set an exit price that has surprised many: 150 million pounds, approximately 175 million euros at the current exchange rate.
‘Man city seems to be the most determined to secure the services of the Brazil international. The high release clause imposed by west ham reflects the player’s importance in the club’s scheme and his long-term potential.
‘The amount requested by the English club is a clear indication of its desire to retain the attacker unless an extremely tempting offer comes to the table.
‘For man city, acquiring Lucas would be a significant addition to its attacking line, further strengthening a team that aims to stay at the top of European football. However, the high release price distances the Brazil from the Etihad .’
The final sentence of the latter report is perhaps the most important and this is backed up by Brazil journalist. He said: “ man city were willing to make an offer for Lucas in this transfer market and contacted west ham: they responded that they will not sell or negotiate him. He has a contract until 2026.”
