West Ham United have reportedly entered the race for Juventus youngster Matias Soulé and could swiftly splash their competitors out of the water.
Over the last couple of weeks, Roma and Leicester City have been entangled in a two-horse race for the young winger’s services.
The newly-promoted Premier League club placed the more lucrative bid, but the Giallorossi have been counting on the player’s desire to be reunited with his compatriots and former Juventus teammates Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes in the Italian capital.
As for the Bianconeri, they have named their asking price at 35 million euros and aren’t willing to offer any discounts.
In fact, Juventus decided to add the 21-year-old to their pre-season training in Germany as a declaration of intent. This move suggests that Soulé isn’t going anywhere unless the Old Lady receives her asking price.
According to Tuttosport, both Leicester and Roma have been trying to close in on the requested figures by adding bonuses to the equation.
Nevertheless, West Ham have reportedly entered the fray, acting quickly and decisively to place themselves ahead of the competition.
The Hammers are reportedly willing to satisfy Juventus with an offer worth 35 million euros.
As the source tells it, the East Londoners could launch an official bid in the next 24-48 hours, which would force Roma and Leicester to either match the offer or resign to defeat.
The Turin-based newspaper believes this will be a decisive week for the future of the young Argentine.
He is being sacrificed for Koopmeiners and I don`t like it. And we will also need a replacement for Soule on the right wing. I believe this Koopmeiners obsession comes at the expence of the quality in other important postitions.
Agree. There is someone who has the quality and potential of Koopmeiners and is cheaper. We are not in a strong financial position. It would be better to keep the quality youngsters and if needed sell them next year to test them with the possibility of either keeping them or selling them big.
Very dissapointing with this transfer circus… Hey, Guintoli! Cut this crap… Soule is special, he’s from Juve’s academy, he has matured, he’s an inverted winger thus an ideal choice for Motta’s tactic, he’s still young and his value will be sky rocket if he shines next year (i bet he will) .
