Payet linked with £40m bid from Real Madrid
French website, Le Sport10 claim “Real Madrid are understood to be readying a bid worth €50m (£40m) & offer Payet €160,000 (£128,000) weekly in wages to persuade him to come.”
Yesterday, Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror said Chelsea scouts have been urging incoming boss Antonio Conte to make a move for Payet.
But he also confirms ClaretandHugh’s weekend story that West Ham’s board are adamant they won’t sell Payet at any cost and refuse to even put a potential valuation on his head that could tempt them to sell.
Over the weekend we spoke to West Ham chairman David Sullivan who told ClaretandHugh “It’s as simple as this – we are not selling him – not at any price. West Ham United is building a team around Dimi Payet – he will not be moving anywhere and that is that.”
