According to the BBC, Villa was negotiating that he rented first and then bought Paqueta for a total price of 50 million pounds, and the players were willing to join.

Sources said that preliminary negotiations between Villa and West Ham United are currently focusing on a deal that costs about £50 million, including a rental fee, and then a forced buyout next summer.

There is reliable news that West Ham United still wants to keep Paqueta and it is not yet certain whether the London club will approve the transfer.

However, it is understood that Paqueta is open to joining Aston Villa. Paqueta participated in a joint practice with West Ham this Saturday as usual to prepare for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest. He was originally expected to be a guest with the team, but now his future has become full of uncertainty.

In addition to Villa, Tottenham and Everton are still interested in Paqueta.
