The Felipe Anderson to West Ham story has been very quiet over the past few days with neither the national nor the local papers paying it much attention, simply reminding everyone it was still a thing from time to time.
If TuttoMercatoWeb are to be believed, there might have been a reason for that, with both sides gearing up for a meeting on Friday evening.
The Italian website state West Ham ‘emissaries’ are expected to sit down with Lazio’s president Claudio Lotito in order to ‘conclude’ a deal for the Brazilian.
TuttoMercatoWeb expect the forward’s transfer fee to be around €45m, which would mean the Serie A side will have won the standoff, getting their full valuation.
Il Messaggero even suggested a few days ago the Italian side were trying to convince to overpay for the Belgian defender, therefore paying less for Anderson, so that they wouldn’t have to give as much money to Santos, who are owed 25% of any future sale.
