West Ham is making another attempt to get a Premier League midfielder after their first effort was unsuccessful. They are also interested in a Bayern Munich standout that Manchester United is keeping an eye on. The Hammers need a midfielder or two to take Declan Rice’s place after selling him to Arsenal.
The Evening Standard reported that, they offered £45 million to Fulham for Joao Palhinha but were rejected, so they hurried up the road to Chelsea to get Conor Gallagher. According to Sky Sports Germany, negotiations with the England midfielder have gone well. It is expected that West Ham will place a £30 million offer on Chelsea’s desk, which the Blues would allegedly use to increase their original £70 million offer for Moises Caicedo.
The Hammers will then travel to Bayern Munich to talk about Leon Goretzka at that point. Given that Manchester United is reportedly keeping an eye on his status, the 28-year-old may be permitted to depart Bavaria this summer. Goretzka will run you anything from $35 million to $43 million.
The rumored transfer has drawn criticism from those in the football world, with many dismissing the idea that West Ham may sign the 28-year-old.
Now that the shocking West Ham connection accusation has been addressed by Bayern star Goretzka, it is as expected. Goretzka also lost his spot next to Kimmich in the Munich midfield at the close of last season owing to poor performances, implying that Goretzka’s prospects of playing routinely under Tuchel are minimal.
David Moyes Also Interested In Signing Harry Maguire
According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, West Ham manager David Moyes “really wants” to recruit former Manchester United captain Harry Maguire to the London Stadium this summer. The Red Devils are trying to unload the England international, and Plettenberg has resorted to Twitter to clarify the situation. There has not yet been made a formal bid.
Since Erik ten Hag took over at Old Trafford, the English center-back has fallen out of favor, and following talks with the Dutchman, he released a statement saying that he will step down as club captain. Maguire appears to need to leave Manchester United in order to revitalize his career; over the previous several years, there has been a spotlight thrown on his performances, with rival supporters expecting to see him suffer.
Although the move to Old Trafford most likely did not justify the over £80 million transfer cost paid to Leicester City in 2019, the defender who was worth that fee and secured a spot in the Euro 2020 team did. Maguire may be able to recover the form that made him so brilliant at the King Power Stadium by leaving a big six club, the Champions League, and the huge transfer fee behind. David Moyes is the only manager that can get the best out of his players, something that other managers lack.
