Valencia & Sakho linked in bizarre swap deals
Thor claims West Ham looked at a straight swap between West Brom’s Berahino and Diafra Sakho but nothing happened because Albion are said to value Berahino at £20m while West Ham value Sakho at £15m.
He goes on to claim Manchester City approached West Ham about swapping Wilfred Bony for Enner Valencia but says the Hammers knocked back the offer.
City purchased Bony for £25m plus up to £3m of add ons as revealed by the football leaks website after the contract was leaked online back in March. City paid £9m up front, plus £5m in VAT due on the total transfer. They paid Swansea a further £8m in January 2016 and are due to Swansea a further £8m in January 2017. Bony is thought to command a £100,000 per week salary at City.
In the early hours of this morning Thorshammer posted the following on KUMB.com
“Berahino has offers from Palace ,Watford and Stoke. West ham looked at a swap but nothing happened due to a difference in valuation between clubs regarding him/Sakho. City asked about swapping Valencia for Bony but were knocked back seems like Pep prefers pace over power”
