Earlier on Tuesday, we covered an article in Marca about West Ham’s Jonathan Calleri, and the possibility of him ending up at Las Palmas in La Liga.
The Spanish newspaper claimed the Argentinean forward, who has failed to have any impact at the London stadium since his arrival from Deportivo Maldonado on loan, is expected to be announced as a new signing ‘either today or tomorrow’.
However, in Italy, things are a bit different, with Calleri still a target for Fiorentina in case former Blackburn Rovers striker Nikola Kalinic ends up going to China on a huge deal.
The striker has been rumoured to be the subject of a €40-45m bid from Tianjin Quanjian, and Gazzetta dello Sport report on Tuesday today is a key day, with talks expected between the player’s agent and the Chinese club, edging towards an agreement.
This, in turn, would provide Fiorentina with a lot of cash to play around with during the rest of January, and Gazzetta state the West Ham forward’s ‘candidacy’ for the spot ‘won’t decrease’ were Kalinic to leave, potentially helping Slaven Bilic get rid of both Calleri and Zaza in the same window.
While today is a key day for Jonathan Calleri to Las Palmas for the Spanish press, it’s also an important one for the Jonathan Calleri to Fiorentina story for their Italian counterparts.
