West Ham United may have to offer up to €40m if they are to convince Sevilla into selling Youssef En-Nesyri this month.
That’s according to Marca, who also say the Hammers are eyeing up Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose in their hunt for a new striker.
The Hammers are desperate to add a new striker to their squad this month, with David Moyes confirming they want competition for Michail Antonio after selling Sebastien Haller to Ajax.
En-Nesyri appears to be their number one target and reports in England yesterday claimed they had seen a €30m offer rejected.
Those same reports suggested some at Sevilla would sanction a sale for a bigger price given the current economic climate and Marca back that up, stating that they ‘do not close the doors to a better offer’.
Indeed, the newspaper asserts that if a new offer was to reach €40m, the Spanish side will ‘sit down and consider’ a sale.
The player is not keen on a move and would prefer to stay, meaning both Sevilla and West Ham would have some convincing to do on that front too.
Should he depart, Sevilla would go looking for a replacement as Julen Lopetegui doesn’t fancy number three option Carlos Fernández.
He’s a target for Sociedad if they can get rid of Willian José, who, according to Marca, is also a target for West Ham. That’s presumably as an alternative to En-Nesyri, whose price seems to be rising by the hour.
