West Ham in negotiations with Barcelona over full back – Hammers viewed as best option ‘economically’

West Ham United are in negotiations with Barcelona over a loan deal for full-back Moussa Wagué.

Barça are currently working on getting players out of the club, with the last day of the transfer window proving to be ‘more hectic’ than they realised.

Having signed Trincao and with Matheus Fernandes on the way, they have now turned their attention to finding a club for Wague.

He has several offers on the table according to Sport, who claim that West Ham are the latest club to ask about his availability.

The newspaper report that Barcelona view sending the youngster to West Ham as the best offer ‘economically’ with them looking to loan the player out with a ‘high purchase option’ included in the deal.

Wagué arrived at the Nou Camp for €3m from Eupen in 2018, and the Spanish giants ‘aspires’ to make a profit on that.

West Ham are not the only club interested, with Leganés, Nice and Torino are all interested as well.

Le Parisien journalist Marc Mechenoua is reporting that Nice have reached a deal with Barça, although Sport state that ‘all parties are negotiating’ at present.
