Manchester City's move for Lucas Paqueta is 'off', according to reports.
City had agreed a deal in principle for the £80million transfer of Paqueta from West Ham, with Pep Guardiola having identified the Brazilian as a priority signing. The Catalan pushed forward on interest following the long-term injury suffered by Kevin De Bruyne.
However, talks were put on hold last Wednesday and City appear to have moved on to other targets after agreeing a £55.5m fee with Stade Rennais for the transfer of Jeremy Doku.
Despite some hope that the deal could still be done, Sky Sports reports that the deal is now off. It does not go into detail as to why the move has fallen through.

Elsewhere, 90min reports that Bayern Munich have joined the race for out-of-favour City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
City signed Phillips for just over £40million from Leeds United last summer, but the 27-year-old has struggled for consistent football, owing to a number of injuries and the inability to displace the ever-present Rodri. The England International insisted earlier this summer that he was willing to fight for his place.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Phillips in recent weeks, and now Bayern look set to rival them. Thomas Tuchel is said to be the driving force behind any interest, with the former Chelsea boss keen to bring in a specialist holding midfielder.
Any move for Phillips would only likely develop if Bayern decide to sell Ryan Gravenberch, who is of interest to Manchester United and Liverpool.
The transfer window is in full swing and City have been busy, with high-profile signings and sales aplenty.
