West Ham United want at least £80m upfront if they are to sell midfielder Lucas Paqueta to Manchester City, according to reports.

City have added to their central midfield department already this summer. Mateo Kovacic has joined from Chelsea for an initial £25m deal.

Reinforcements were needed after captain Ilkay Gundogan departed earlier in the summer for Barcelona. The German international moved on a free transfer upon the expiry of his deal at the Etihad Stadium.

There have been more outgoings than incomings so far this summer at Pep Guardiola's side, with RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol recently becoming acquisition number two for the Blues.
