More confusion over Felipe Anderson negotiations

|

There is further confusion over the state of negotiations to sign Felipe Anderson with the Italian media now saying West Ham and Lazio are over £8.7m apart in their valuations of the Brazilian midfielder.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport is saying Lazio President Claudio Lotito is demanding €45m (£39.4m) plus a 20% sell on fee for Anderson. The report adds that West Ham is proposing €35m (£30.6m) plus bonuses and 20% of the profit from his next transfer fee rather than 20% of the total.

The fresh report comes hours after Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claimed the two clubs were just £4m apart. Club insiders have previously said the Italian club are continuously moving the goal posts during difficult negotiations but they remain interested although a deal is not close.

The Hammers themselves are being tip-lipped on the actual transfer amounts being discussed and all the leaks appear to be coming out of Italy at the moment.  At over £39m, it would be a West Ham club record signing should the Hammers get anywhere close to Lazio’s valuation.

    The Lazio chairmen is trying to rinse us just tell him to do one this isn’t happening and won’t,whether true or not the Lazio chairmen has been reported as telling everyone how much he is going to make from us, he is mistaken if he thinks DS will pay even the market price for a player.

    Whatever happens, it will inevitably be Sullivan or Bradys fault in some people’s minds. I bet neither of them has a decent alibi for the shooting of JFK either…..

    You can just tell this isn’t going to happen..we blamed sporting for moving the goalposts when we didn’t get carvallo but if you remember it was our fault when it actually came to light..this is going that way again.. We never get big deals done and it’s looking more fishy that we are moving the goalposts again..
