It seems West Ham United are about to face an even bigger competition for the signing of Zeno Debast.
The Anderlecht fullback has been drawing some big interest from European sides lately, and it’s now reported that Napoli have joined the race.
According to AreaNapoli, the Serie A side have been monitoring the player and they actually have an open channel to talk about him, as his representative Sebastien Ledure also turns to be the lawyer of Romelu Lukaku, with whom they’ve been in talks.
The report takes recent claims from TuttoJuve which said West Ham, Juventus, Eintracht Frankfurt and Lisbon are all keen on Debast as well.
It’s said that even though Anderlecht would like to make €20m from him, the fact that his contract expires in 2025 puts the Belgian side against the wall. That’s why they could end up settling for €16m.
In the past few weeks, the Portuguese media had already been claiming that Sporting were in advanced talks for the player, also mentioning West Ham’s interest. The Hammers were also said to be intensifying contacts, but it seems they haven’t advanced for the signing.
Now while those clubs don’t try their definitive attempt, the competition is only growing.
