Four days ago, we covered a report from France Football, who explained that Cardiff City negotiated ‘discreetly’ with Nantes for Emiliano Sala.

However, the forward has no plans of joining Neil Warnock’s side, who are sitting in the bottom half (16th) of the league table.

Calciomercato.it brings an update on the attacker as they mention several clubs in Italy are interested in the 28-year-old, but will face competition from the Premier League.

It’s claimed that Everton, West Ham United and Fulham are all looking at the Argentine and these three clubs have added him to the list of goals for the summer transfer window.

The possibility of a January transfer is ‘not excluded’, if any of the potential suitors are ready to meet the Ligue 1 outfit’s asking price, which is between €20m and €25m.

The Italian website’s report mentions the asking price set by Nantes remains an ‘obstacle’.

Marco Silva’s side and the Hammers could have an advantage after the end of the season, if Fulham are relegated to the Championship.

Even if the Cottagers just manage to avoid the drop, it is doubtful that Sala would join them, considering that he rejected Cardiff because they are one of the bottom teams in the Premier League.
