Player expected to ‘present himself’ for West Ham medical soon – Steidten travels for transfer

With West Ham United now very close to closing a deal for Luis Guilherme, it seems only final details are being sorted for the transfer to happen.

Back on Monday, it had already been reported that the Hammers are exchanging documents with Palmeiras following a €30m agreement.

Now it’s Goal Brasil who shares an update, claiming that West Ham director Tim Steidten is in Brazil to get the transfer done.

With the Hammers standing as the ‘big favourites’ for the signing, despite competition from other Premier League clubs, Luis Guilherme is expected to ‘present himself’ for his Hammers medical very soon.

Just like other outlets, Goal claims that West Ham are paying an initial amount of €23m for the transfer, with another €7m in potential bonuses. Palmeiras are also getting 20% from a future sale.

Many sources in Brazil have been reporting the deal in the past few hours. Even though some reports from England said the transfer is off, it seems that was never really the case.

Palmeiras will be getting huge money this summer, with the sales of Endrick to Real Madrid, Estêvão to Chelsea and Luis Guilherme to West Ham.
