West Ham United are in the market for a new midfielder as Declan Rice is expected to leave in the summer window. They have identified a few candidates, which also includes Valencia’s Yunus Musah.
On June 13th, Estadio Deportivo stated the Hammers have registered their interest in the 20-year-old with his entourage.
AC Milan will provide tough competition to West Ham to sign the American, according to Calciomercato.
It’s claimed Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani and their chief scout, Geoffrey Moncada, are in constant contact with the player’s agent, to ‘unlock a very interesting deal’. The Rossoneri officials have received ‘positive feelings’ from their discussions with his representative.
The report says Valencia have set a €20m price tag and the Serie A side could use part of the funds from Sandro Tonali’s impending sale to Newcastle United to meet Los Ches’ demands.
Stefano Pioli’s side expect to close the deal for Musah in the next few days after ‘positive’ contacts with his agent. Calciomercato say these contacts are an advantage for Milan and they must exploit it ‘immediately to beat competition’ from the Premier League.
Moyes’ side get a mention as the report states West Ham ‘are in first place’ from England in the race for Musah.
If the Hammers are still keen to acquire the American’s signature, they would have to act fast and try to get ahead of Milan.
