It would really, really help if Gazzetta dello Sport could get their facts straight and show some consistency in their reporting, because the numbers in the Pedro Obiang articles are changing on a daily basis.
On Thursday, we covered the latest regarding the West Ham midfielder’s future, who is edging closer to a return to Sampdoria, and the Italian newspaper claimed a €10m offer had been made.
However, on Friday, the very same Gazzetta are now reporting the bid from Sampdoria for the Hammers man is only €9m, and that includes the bonuses.
Considering West Ham are said to want €12m for their man, that appears to be some way off, but the outlet feels there’s enough optimism for something could get done at a lower price.
Sampdoria are currently waiting for the green light from the Premier League club.
Interestingly enough, this €9m figure is what Tuttosport were reporting as the figure a deal could be agreed for on Thursday.
Either West Ham have decided they don’t want to keep a wantaway player, or they just need the cash, which would go along with reports from Germany that the Premier League side need sales to meet FFP requirements after their vast summer spending.
