a Brazilian icon could be banned from football for life!
Lucas Paqueta, Brazilian football star, could leave the field for good in the coming months.
The player has been accused for several months of being involved in sports betting, a practice prohibited for professionals.
Last season, Paqueta was close to joining Manchester City, but his transfer was canceled after his links to sports betting were revealed. He therefore remained at West Ham, where he is still playing this season.
However, according to the English newspaper The Sunthe matter is far from being resolved. Paqueta could be banned for life from football in the coming months. Indeed, the English Football Association confiscated his mobile phone as part of the investigation and reportedly made damning discoveries.
The newspaper claims that the player would have resumed his betting activities on another phone, despite the ongoing investigation. If these accusations are confirmed, the Federation could ban Paqueta from any football-related activity. Unless he appeals and clears his name, his career could end at just 27 years old.
