West Ham confirmed Paqueta’s permanent return to Flamengo for €41m+ (about $49m). He leaves after 139 appearances with 23 goals and 15 assists, plus four goals in 18 Premier League games this season. Nuno Espírito Santo called him “a special player, a special person.” West Ham said he returned for “personal and family reasons” after “significant mental strain” back home.
