Report: Bids accepted for Maxi Gomez
Valencia are also understood to have had the same offer accepted by their La Liga rivals, which includes add-ons the report claims.
In the last few minutes Kaveh Solhekol posted on Twitter “West Ham and Valencia have had £29m bids accepted by Celta Vigo for striker Maxi Gomez. Up to Gomez to decide where he wants to go. West Ham have also made £13m bid for Eibar defensive midfielder Joan Jordan.”
Gomez has a release fee of £44.5m but no-one has been prepared to pay that amount. If the Sky report is to be believed that both clubs have had bids accepted for £15.5m less than that valuation.
One would hope the draw of the Premier League would make West Ham the more attractive offer.
Claret and Hugh will attempt to find out if the story has any legs.
