Irons react to Obiang transfer talk

Exclusive

West Ham have made it clear this morning that Pedro Obiang is their player for the next three years and that it may be as well for agents to understand that.

The Italian was at the centre of reports this morning that he could be up for a transfer if a club came in for him and the clubs are not in a position to discuss what may or may not be going on among his advisers.

We reported earlier that the midfielder’s agent, Jose Miguel Gonzalez, has told CalcioMercato that Obiang would consider leaving if a team made a proposal for him.

But ClaretandHugh’s top source immediately told us exclusively: “In reality 99% of players at all clubs would consider/like to move if they were offered say twice the money they are on.

However, if they are contracted to a club they can’t and Pedro is contracted to West Ham for another three years.

Every window there are players who think we should let them leave for nothing or a low fee if they are aware of other clubs ready to offer them more.”
