Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard could be edging towards a Premier League lifeline, according to fresh reports.
West Ham 'reject' second Lucas Paqueta offer and more Man City transfer rumours
10.08.2023 - 18:49 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City have seen a £86.5m offer for Lucas Paqueta knocked back, according to reports.
MEN Sport reported that Pep Guardiola is still looking to add another midfielder to his squad despite the expectation that Bernardo Silva will stay at the club. City bid for Declan Rice but decided he was too expensive, paving a move to Arsenal.
Paqueta only joined West Ham from Lyon last summer for a club record £51m but is on the club's shortlist. They reportedly made an initial offer of 80m euros.
Now, according to Foot Mercato a second offer of 100m euros has been rejected too. The report also states that Paqueta is City's 'end of transfer priority’.

Guardiola refused to comment on the speculation at his pre-match press conference. City face Burnley on Friday night to start the Premier League season.
"I will not answer about [Lucas] Paqueta; he is a West Ham player," was Guardiola's short reply. The Brazilian international is expected to be involved with the Hammers this weekend.
Elsewhere, the intriguing relationship between City and West Ham continues with David Moyes interested in Cole Palmer. The Evening Standard report the City winger is a loan target.
Whilst the two deals are not connected, Palmer's situation could impact Paqueta with the two clubs in negotiations. It's said Moyes is interested in using Jarred Bowen as a central attacker, with Palmer coming in on the right.
Guardiola admitted Palmer's situation is unclear ahead of the new season. City sold Riyad Mahrez which has created a potential vacancy on the wing which could offer the England youth international more minutes.
