He Manchester City recently crowned as European super champion it does not end in its task of seeking to improvise its staff, looking for an enviable payroll. For this reason the ‘Cityzens’ were consolidating details to close the signing of the Brazilian Lucas Paquetá.
However, according to the information provided by Fabrizio Romano and Mail Sport, the negotiations would have collapsed, since the midfielder is being investigated by the FA (English Football Association) due to the infringement of the regulations regarding bets.

The citizen team was going to pay a figure of 90 million euros, a figure that would have made it one of the most expensive transfers in the Premier League. The transfer price increased after Kevin de Bruyne will be confirmed as low for the team indefinitely.
But the possible sanction that can arrive for the breach of the regulation brakes any possibility to arrive to the Manchester City. The Daily Mail adds: “Details have yet to be revealed as West Ham nervously wait to see if the authorities bring charges against Lucas Paquetá”
The situation affects the ‘Cityzens’ because the reinforcement they expect will not arrive and they must also deal with the void left by Ilkay Gündogan, a new reinforcement for FC Barcelona. For West Ham it represents a double problem.

In the first instance, the ‘hammers’ would be left without the monetary aid that Manchester City would be willing to pay for the midfielder, with that they would search for a guaranteed replacement, since after Declan Rice, Paquetá is the second most important man in the West Ham squad and cost 60 million euros.
It should be noted that a similar case was that of Iván Toney, Brentford striker, after admitting 232 betting rule violations. After completing the investigation, the FA fined him £50,000 and eight months of suspension with activities related to soccer.
