Despite the many stories in the past few days claiming West Ham United are about to close the transfer of Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras, the English press today reported a setback in the talks.
It’s been claimed that the player has a better offer from Saudi Arabia, and that could make his move to Hammers collapse. That was said by more than one outlet.
We’ve been keeping an eye on the Brazilian media to see what they have to say, and so far, only Infos Palestra have something on the case.
The Palmeiras-dedicated outlet comes up to claim that, according to people close to the process, ‘nothing changed’ in the negotiations with West Ham so far.
Their sources claim that the talks with the Hammers remain well underway and should advance in the coming days.
We continue to look for some more information from bigger Brazilian outlets, but so far, it seems the word at Palmeiras is that Luis Guilherme is still on his way to West Ham.
That’s a story which should get some more fresh updates during the day.
