West Ham have reportedly entered the race to sign Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
The Hammers are claimed to be considering a bid but will face competition from Wolves, Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain to sign the Portugal international.
Sporting do not want to sell the 30-year-old, who still has over four years remaining on his contract, but any interested clubs can open negotiations if they meet the player’s release clause of £30.66m.
The Hammers are in the market for a new goalkeeper with the loan deal of Joe Hart coming to an end and the possibility of Adrian returning to Spain but no decisions would be made until the manager decision is resolved and a new head of recruitment is appointed.
I think someone is playing with their ‘Football Manager 2018’ far too much and just coming up with names, typical of Our Club, seems the same with who will replace Moyes!
Not a chance in hell of getting this guy.
Lukasz skorupski from Roma will do. Great keeper, young and available on the cheap
They would never pay anywhere near that for a keeper nor any other player actually.😏
Another roll up and buy your season tickets media release….
Mattia Perin
Timo Horn
Kepa Arrizabalaga
Neto Murara
Yoel Rodriguez
Alban Lafont
There might be more elsewhere. Rui Patricio not one of the ones I would choose.
I forgot one from the bundesliga : Koen Casteels. Number 3 for Belgium, behind Courtois and Mignolet. If Wolfsburg goes down, he will look for another club.
