As far as West Ham are concerned, it isn’t a case of whether Felipe Anderson will leave London Stadium, but more how much for.
Lazio are very keen to bring the Brazilian back to Rome, which is exactly where the player himself would like to go, meaning two big hurdles have already been cleared.
The last one, however, remains the price to be paid to the Hammers for the winger, and it appears the two sides aren’t far off an agreement.
Il Tempo look at it briefly on Thursday, explaining West Ham want €9-10m from a sale, while Claudio Lotito, Lazio’s owner, ‘doesn’t want to go beyond €5m with bonuses’.
As the outlet state, ‘there is work to do’, but there is also hope that an agreement will be found, since Felipe Anderson’s sole desire is to return to his former club.
In fact, there’s a belief ‘it can be closed at €7m’.
So, Lazio just need to up their offer by a little bit for a deal to go through.
