Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus are both strongly linked with departures from West Ham United this summer with rumours of their departures gathering pace.
Brazilian international Paqueta is reportedly open to leaving West Ham following a challenging 2024/25 season for both himself and the club.
Interest has emerged from his former club Flamengo in Brazil and from clubs in Saudi Arabia with Paqueta rumoured to be receptive to both options as he seeks a fresh start.
West Ham are prepared to sanction Paqueta's departure if a suitable offer - believed to be around £30 million - arrives.
The club is not actively pushing him out but recognizes that a move could benefit both parties after a difficult campaign.
Despite reports suggesting Paqueta is pushing for a move to Flamengo, sources close to the player and the club deny he is forcing a transfer to Brazil.
Instead, Paqueta is said to prefer Champions League football if possible and is not demanding a return home.
Kudus is also likely to leave West Ham this summer with the club facing financial pressures and needs to sell players before making new signings.
Kudus is one of West Ham's most valuable assets and both Tottenham and Chelsea are said to be among the clubs interested.
Chelsea are reportedly making Kudus their next transfer target after recent signings.
West Ham have set a price of £65 million for Kudus, which is below his £85 million release clause but reflects his underwhelming second season in London.
