Newcastle submitted a purchase request for Joao Felix, an £86 million-rated athlete who has been exercising in a West Ham shirt. One of the best opponents West Ham fans had ever faced at the London Stadium was Joao Felix, a Portuguese superstar who played for Chelsea previous season.
It also looks that the player who Newcastle United is allegedly interested in likes West Ham. Undoubtedly, Felix would be a player that West Ham fans would love to see in their uniform the next year. However, since Chelsea elected not to exercise their option to buy him from Atletico Madrid, Champions League Newcastle has suddenly come into attention.
Felix may wear West Ham’s uniform without costing the club an enormous new record transfer price, though. After Felix who is worth £86 million, exercised in a West Ham jersey after Newcastle made an approach to buy him from his current club.
Apparently, Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, has been given the option to recruit Felix either on a temporary basis or permanently. The Portuguese player, who reputedly cost Atletico £136 million, is looking for another exit strategy this summer following a total collapse in his relationship with Diego Simeone, the manager of the Spanish club. He was seen wearing a West Ham shirt with his name and number on the back during training.
Images shared on social media show Felix working out to stay in shape before returning to preseason practice while donning the white and orange third kit that West Ham wore when they won the Europa Conference League. But West Ham supporters shouldn’t get too hopeful. Atletico is offering Felix to the extremely wealthy Newcastle for either a permanent move at £86 million or a loan for one season at £13 million only.
West Ham Wants to Find Quick Replacements First before Releasing Any Player
As AS Roma go on with their pursuit of Gianluca Scamacca away from West Ham United, we get some developments from the Italian media. This time, it’s said that in order for West Ham to accept Scamacca’s departure, they need to ‘find a successor’ first.
In terms of talks, Roma’s initial option was a loan with a purchase option. The fact that the striker wants to make the transfer gives the Giallorossi an edge. Roma feel that situation might benefit West Ham as well, since Scamacca could have a strong season in Italy and hence see his price rise.
The Hammers had best move quickly if they want the center-forward gone and a different player to take his place. According to the source, Roma are already considering alternative targets, including players like Mauro Icardi and Alvaro Morata. The story is obviously significantly biased in favor of Roma, and West Ham is aware that there is interest from other parties as well.
