David Moyes confirms Man City's £70m bid for Lucas Paqueta, but the West Ham boss claims the offer is 'nowhere NEAR' meeting the club's valuation

David Moyes says Manchester City have not met their valuation for Lucas Paqueta ‘at the moment’ after confirming they had received a £70million offer from the Premier League champions.

MailOnline revealed this week how Paqueta’s contract contains an £85m release clause next summer and West Ham immediately rejected City’s initial enquiry which fell way below that figure.

Paqueta is interested in the move but Moyes said at his press conference on Friday: ‘All I can say is we’ve had an offer from City but at the moment, it's nowhere near meeting our valuation.
