Report: Hammers reignite interest in centre back

|

West Ham could reignite their interest in Duje Caleta-Car this summer according to a report from The Athletic.

At the end of last year, reports broke that West Ham were negotiating with the Stellar Group in a bid to sign the Marseilles central defender before the one-off October transfer window closed.

Stellar which is headed by veteran representative and the player’s agent Jonathan Barnett hoped to get the deal done for a £25 million transfer fee but no agreement could be met by Marseille when Liverpool tried to come in late.

Marseille are now willing to sell defender Duje Caleta-Car for €20million – but a reported move to Liverpool is now unlikely.

It’s claimed that Marseille are ready to sell for around £17million, preferring to sell Caleta-Car so they can try and keep Boubacar Kamara. The report suggests that Caleta-Car’s destination is almost certain to be England, but it’s unlikely to be Liverpool because they’re focusing on signing Ibrahima Konate instead.

    I do not know if you have watched him at all but way over priced again and I would be concerned if he would cut it in the PL. Far better options imo out there.
