Lucas Paquetá’s camp are keen for the FA to rule on the gambling allegations against the midfielder, who wants to revive a £70million move to Manchester City this summer.
The West Ham United player had looked set to join the champions in August last year but the deal collapsed when it emerged that he was being investigated for potential breaches of the FA’s gambling rules. Paquetá’s representatives are hoping for a decision before the transfer window opens on June 14.
City remain keen to sign the 26-year-old on similar terms to last summer, when they were willing to pay £70million — less than his £85million release clause at West Ham that becomes active next month. Paquetá’s agents are already believed to have agreed personal terms.
