Julen Lopetegui’s sacking at West Ham United will make no difference for Luizão, who is determined to leave the club this month.

That’s according to Premier League Brasil, who report that the 22-year-old is still expected to leave West Ham and head back to Brazilian football.

PL Brasil report that the ‘constant lack of opportunities’ for Luizão in West Ham’s first team squad has left him convinced that he has to leave regardless of the manager in charge.

This did not change in the summer when David Moyes was replaced by Lopetegui, and it seems he does not believe it will change now that the Spaniard has been sacked.

There is also a frustration as he has seen several loan proposals for him rejected by West Ham during his time at the club.

A ‘source’ consulted by the website stated that the player’s staff are already mapping out other teams for him and ‘give preference to Brazilian football teams’ at this moment in time.

“The majority of club in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship have already investigated Luizão’s situation,” this source is quoted as saying. They are waiting for a ‘formalisation of proposals’ for their player.

Several Brazilian teams have already been credited with an interest over the last month and it seems it is now up to them to work out a deal, taking advantage of Luizão’s determined to get out of West Ham this month.
