Sources close to West Ham have revealed growing concerns within the club regarding the betting charges against Lucas Paqueta. While the club publicly supports the Brazilian playmaker, they are actively preparing their transfer strategy to include a backup plan should Paqueta face a ban from the FA. This potential ban is also being considered in the club's financial planning, as they might have to write off an £80m asset.
Paqueta continues to assert his innocence, and his legal team is reportedly seeking more time to prepare their defence. Recent online leaks have disclosed details of the bets under investigation, alleging that numerous individuals placed bets on Paqueta to be booked in four separate matches, with stakes ranging from £6.70 to £400, and combined winnings of £100,000.
It's important to note that these leaked details are unsubstantiated at this stage. West Ham is preparing for the worst while hoping for the best.
