With Lazar Samardzic having little playing time with Udinese recently, the rumours linking him to a West Ham United move are now boosted by the Italian media.
A fresh story from Calcio Mercato points out that the midfielder has only had 16 minutes in three games, following the real chance of a January departure.
It’s said it’s very likely that Samardzic will end up leaving Udinese in the summer, and that’s when West Ham get named as one of the possibilities.
The problem is that Samardzic’s little playing time will also harm the chances of a big sale, with Calcio Mercato claiming the valuation should be worth around €30m.
The next few months should then be decisive for him, as both the player and his club could benefit in case he starts getting more minutes to play. However, whatever happened in January appears to be playing a part.
With West Ham being linked to him since last summer, they’ll certainly be watching the situation and could find a deal much easier to do than perhaps it should have been.
