West Ham United‘s Taty Castellanos is aiming for a rapid exit this summer, after joining the Championship side from Lazio in January.
The Hammers were then in the Premier League, and the striker scored six goals from 18 league matches this year.
Last week, Sport Witness relayed news his agent is actively working to find a new club and has offered him to Real Betis. West Ham invested €30m to sign and now want at least €25m.
Summer battle for West Ham man
Vamos Mi Sevilla FC picks up on that and covers the latest on Betis and their neighbours Sevilla.
The latter have sold Akor Adams to Venezia for €20m in this window and this has helped improve their finances while leaving a hole in the squad.
Sevilla sporting director José Ignacio Navarro is looking for a new No.9 and has Taty Castellanos on his target list.
Real Betis are also keen on the Argentine. This could lead to a ‘war’ between the local rivals for his signature.
Luis García’s side will do everything possible to secure the frontman’s services. Their preference is to sign him on loan.
The funds raised from Adams’ sale allow Sevilla to ‘present a firm loan offer’ to convince the West Ham United man.
Player wants West Ham exit
Luckily for the suitors, Taty Castellanos wants a summer exit. In fact, he has ‘officially informed’ Nuno Espírito Santo’s side and his priority is to move to La Liga.
Vamos Mi Sevilla FC claims the Hammers can’t recover most of the fee invested to sign him. Therefore, a loan move is ‘gaining traction’.
This may not be West Ham’s stance. It looks like the outlet are trying to push what Sevilla want because of their financial limitations.
What’s certain is that Castellanos wants to leave and the transfer formula has to be clarified.
