loading=\"lazy\"\/>   <\/p>\n<p> Tue 26 August 2025 17:15, UK <\/p>\n<p>Lucas Paqueta has been linked with a move to Everton in the final few days of the transfer window.<\/p>\n<p><a

Grealish\u2019s arrival at Everton<\/a> has already significantly bolstered the level of creativity in the Toffees\u2019 squad, though they are still looking to go one step further.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodisonnews.com\/2025\/08\/25\/everton-plot-shock-move-for-maverick-west-ham-star-david-moyes-is-an-admirer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paqueta has been linked with a move to Everton<\/a>, with it claimed that West Ham would sanction his exit if a suitable offer is made.<\/p>\n<p>The Hammers paid \u00a351million to sign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodisonnews.com\/tag\/lucas-paqueta\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paqueta<\/a> from Lyon only a few years ago, and will likely demand a higher fee to seal his exit.<\/p>\n<p>If Everton pursue that, he would certainly become a starter at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, though David Moyes would have a decision to make as to where to play him.<\/p>\n<p><img

punches the air.\" class=\"wp-image-158362\" \/>Moyes will want to bring Paqueta to Everton (Credit: Imago)Tim Iroegbunam to miss out if Lucas Paqueta signs<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a massively ambitious move, but if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodisonnews.com\/2025\/08\/25\/lucas-paqueta-to-everton-transfer-fee-salary-and-likely-shirt-number-for-west-ham-star\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everton can bring Paqueta to Merseyside<\/a>, there is no doubt about the fact that he would walk into the starting 11.<\/p>\n<p>Moyes would have options, but the most feasible one may see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodisonnews.com\/tag\/tim-iroegbunam\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Iroegbunam<\/a> miss out.<\/p>\n<p>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could drop into a deeper role alongside Idrissa Gueye, allowing Paqueta to almost free roam in a more advanced position.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" loading=\"lazy\"

Everton<\/p>\n<p>Having a creative trio of Grealish, Paqueta and Iliman Ndiaye would be a sight to behold, and yet it is a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Just five days remain in the transfer window, showcasing that if the Toffees are to make an ambitious move, they need to act fast.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

Everton (Credit: Imago)How much would Lucas Paqueta cost Everton in wages?<\/p>\n<p>Paqueta would instantly become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodisonnews.com\/club\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everton<\/a>\u2018s record signing if a transfer were to materialise, and he wouldn\u2019t come cheap from a wage perspective either.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capology.com\/player\/lucas-paqueta-35669\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Capology<\/a>, the 27-year-old earns a reported \u00a3150,000 per week, which would make him the highest-paid player at Everton, alongside Grealish.<\/p>\n<p>The Toffees are said to be covering 50 per cent of his \u00a3300,000 a week wages at Manchester City, and after he registered two assists in Everton\u2019s win over Brighton, that is already starting to prove its worth.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Pickford is currently the second-highest earner at Everton, on a reported \u00a3125,000 per week contract.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaKfx7H1CYoPmWHDGQ15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Goodison News
