Over the past couple of days there’s been a flurry of claims from Turkey about West Brom and Josef de Souza.
On Friday, Sport Witness covered claims from NtvSpor that West Brom had tabled a €10m offer for the midfielder, and were waiting for an answer. Fenerbahce certainly weren’t ruling out a sale, and pressure from West Brom wasn’t entirely unwelcome.
Then Haberturk claimed the actual offer amount from West Brom is €13m, and explained the Baggies would find out in the coming days whether their offer is successful or not.
Neto is a central defender so it’s not a straight one in and one out for Fenerbahce, but the West Brom transfer would provide the required funds.
Vatan put the offer at €10m, and certainly make it sound like that’s in the realms of acceptability.
West Brom wouldn’t have work permit problems with Souza, as he holds an EU passport.
