Hammers target to be tempted with big new deal
The want him to agree to a one year extension which would keep him at the club until 2021 whilst pushing the release clause in his contract to £54 million from £40 million.
He would receive a sizeable pay increase into the bargain with Sporting’s plan clearly to make up the reported shortfall on the current financial dealings should they sell him.
It’s a dilemma for Carvalho who wants to move to the London Stadium but could miss out on a hefty pay rise should his club again refuse to do business with the Irons.
Reports in the Portuguese capital claim Sporting chiefs have approached Carvalho and his advisers with the offer of a new deal.
Despite the sour relationship between the Hammers and Sporting there is every chance we will go back in for a player who has attracted the attention of Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Brom in the past.
Italian champions Juventus are also tempted by Carvalho, who has won 40 Portugal caps.
