Towards the end of every transfer window, every single club in Italy’s top three leagues assembles at a hotel in Milan to work day and night to get deals done in one place, with agents popping in and out.
Think of it like a big transfer fair, where you can go from booth to booth and try and sign players.
Well, Palermo are doing just that, as, according to TuttoMercatoWeb, they’ve taken an interest in West Ham’s Sead Haksabanovic.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who has played just 71 minutes of first team football this season, is said to be a transfer target for the Serie B side, who are ‘preparing a four-year contract’.
This seems like a long shot from Palermo, considering the Montenegro international only signed for the Hammers from Halmstad for £2.7m last August, but TMW make it sound like the deal could already be done.
Perhaps this could turn into a loan with a view to buy, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for anything new regarding the West Ham youngster in the next 24 hours.
