Nahitan Nández arrived in Europe when Cagliari signed him from Boca Juniors last summer.
Prior to joining the Serie A side, Leeds United were linked with the central midfielder and reports talking about Whites’ interest in the 24-year-old didn’t die down even after he moved to Italy.
TuttoMercatoWeb explains West Ham United are interested in the Uruguay international and they have taken a step forward by submitting a proposal in the last few hours.
The Hammers are looking to sign the player on a loan deal with an obligation to make it permanent for €40m.
Should Nández decide to stay, there’s a new contract offer ready for him that will see him earn better wages and his employer will insert a €40m release clause.
TMW adds ‘decisive hours’ are ahead as it’s now down to Cagliari and Nández to make a decision whether he stays or makes the switch to West Ham.
