Anderson set for medical

|

It appears Lazio jumped the gun by announcing the return of Felipe Anderson to Rome on their mobile app but the permanent transfer is still expected to happen.

He is still expected to agree to a four year deal with his former Italian club in the next few days.

Lazio and West Ham had already agreed on a €3m fee and 50% sell on clause on the future sale but it was down to the player to agree personal terms. 

The Hammers will receive no money as it will be offset what they owe on the £34m deal.

Journalist Nicolò Schira claims an official announcement is coming soon with medicals scheduled for tomorrow.

Anderson is still in St Andrews in Scotland as shown by Irons United footage from yesterday.

Whether he could feature in today’s game against Dundee FC at lunchtime remains to be seen but it would be surprising with a move so soon.

    Thanks Sean, that’s exactly what I was thinking. Still a big loss but 11.5m is a bit more palatable than 3m

    This might be a silly question but do we have any insight on the original deal financials? Just wondering if we owe Lazio 3m Euros so they’re wiping it or if we owe more still and the fee here is actually is 3m Euro plus we’ll right off the rest of what you owe.

    Just curious, doesn’t really affect anything. It’s a shame, I quite liked him but Moyes clearly isn’t a fan and it’ll be good to get his wages off the books

    • hard to work out, if it was £34m and a four year deal usually it would be four equal payments of £8.5m meaning the last payment of £8.5m this month
