Beşiktaş have identified West Ham United’s Manuel Lanzini as their ‘goal’ this summer.
That’s according to Fanatik, who explain the Black Eagles want the attacking midfielder to strengthen their No.10 position next season.
The Argentina international finished the previous campaign with 45 appearances in all competitions, which included 19 starts in the league.
With a contract expiring in less than 12 months, the Hammers have an opportunity to earn from the 29-year-old’s sale in the current window, if they decide not to offer him a new deal.
Lanzini’s valuation is €12m. If West Ham were to agree to give a discount to the Turkish club’s, then ‘there will be face-to-face talks’, likely between the two clubs, for the South American.
David Moyes side will likely believe, even if they want to part ways, that there’s no reason to be handing out discounted deals at this stage of the transfer window, with plenty of time for other clubs to come to the table.
