Hammers reveal the price for Payet
Despite the declarations by manager Slaven Bilic that he is not for sale the club are privately looking for offers at what they consider is the current value.
And a top insider told ClaretandHugh this evening: “In the market as it is right now we would say that £30 million was too low for a player of his class and ability.”
Allegations that the player made it clear to the manager he would feign injury should the club try to keep him and that he would never kick another ball for the club have made their way onto the national headlines this evening.
ClaretandHugh was told the same by its own sources but at this stage the Hammers are more interested in getting their price for the player.
And should they not get a bottom line of £30 million it’s unlikely he will be moving before the summer as the club look to play him at his own hardball game.
There’ s a lot of posing going on with the club and Payet’s agent locked in talks as they try to move forward but the Irons are determined that nobody will get their one time star asset on the cheap.
