Pep 'loses his mind' for Lucas Paquetá: Manchester City increases their offer to sign him.

Manchester City started the season by losing the Community Shield to Arsenal and wants to avoid having a squad that is too short in a course where they will be obliged to reaffirm their supremacy in Europe. So, after the victorious debut in the Premier League - with a solid 0-3 win over Burnley - the 'Citizens' continue to make moves in the transfer market to add new talents to Pep Guardiola's idea. One of them is Lucas Paqueta, with whom they already have a verbal agreement and hope to close it soon.

The only obstacle for now is the money that West Ham United is asking, the owner of the Brazilian's pass. Initially, as various British media reported, the 'Hammers' rejected the 81 million euros that Manchester City put on the table. This, as it was obvious, forced them to make a counteroffer.
