It’s becoming clearer and clearer that Baldé Keita isn’t interested in a move to West Ham, despite reports the two clubs have all but agreed a deal to send the Senegalese forward to London Stadium.
Reports emerged a few days back stating the Hammers were prepared to pay upwards of €25m for the 22-year-old, who had a very good season with Lazio, looking to impress clubs in order to get a move to a bigger club this summer.
The Serie A champions are still circling around, but it’s Inter who seem to be the 
favourites, described on Friday by Il Tempo as Keita’s ‘number one alternative’.
Claims from a few days ago suggested Lazio feared Keita would reject West Ham’s money, as he had already turned down Everton, and those fears appear to be close to becoming a reality, as Il Tempo say London Stadium is an ‘undesirable’ destination for the forward.
Il Messagero, however, have a different view on the whole thing, and claim there haven’t really been any ‘concrete’ offers for Keita, which is kind of a big deal if he wants to leave.
It seems that West Ham are being pushed to one side by the player for now, but, if things get really desperate, who knows?
One thing is certain, he doesn’t want to be at Lazio.
