Recent reports from Italian media sources have indicated that West Ham United are actively competing with Leicester City and AS Roma for the transfer of Juventus winger Matias Soule. The 21-year-old Argentinian forward, known for his flair and trickery, has captured the attention following an impressive season on loan at Frosinone during the 2023-24 campaign.
During his time with Frosinone, Soule demonstrated his potential by scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in 36 appearances. This performance has led Juventus to consider a transfer, setting his price at approximately €35-40 million to help fund their own spending spree.
Leicester City has proposed better financial terms to Juventus, while Roma remains the preferred destination for the player, keeping the transfer possibilities wide open as the market progresses.
A recent meeting at Juventus’ Continassa training ground between Soule’s representative and Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli further confirmed West Ham’s interest. Despite Leicester City’s substantial offer, Juventus is holding out for €30 million plus performance-related add-ons. Roma, while still a contender, faces challenges in matching the financial power of Premier League clubs.
West Ham have began to stutter slightly in the transfer window following some early deals, and it is believed the addition of another winger is important but not a priority. Whether the club will sanction such a big outlay on a key position is unknown, but all indications from sources within the club suggest a striker and right back are next on the transfer list.
” it is believed the addition of another winger is important but not a priority.”
a player like soule is an absolute priority for this squad, who is going to find a pass in our side? paqueta, yes, who else?
bueller? that’s who
all our attacking midfielders are ball carriers/forwards, they are not creators, we failed to land garcia, a player like soule is absolutely key
roma want him for 25m euro, we better be in for him, he is at minimum a triple bagger and a profile the squad is desperate for
