'According to ESPN Brasil, the final cost of the operation will be close to €50 million, a figure never before paid by a South American club for a player.'
This doesn't seem to be getting reported as done anywhere else. Can anyone shed some light on it?

50m Euros is almost what we paid for him. Do it ASAP haha.
If true, no complaints. Hope he gets the fresh start he needs back home.
> For years, a move of this magnitude felt out of reach for South American clubs. That perception has now been rewritten. Flamengo have pulled off one of the most remarkable operations in the region’s history, standing firm against a Premier League side like West Ham to secure the return of Lucas Paquetá.
‘Standing firm’ or, as its otherwise known, ‘massively overpaying.’
