Simone Zaza will be returning to Juventus according to his agent.
West Ham paid Juventus an initial €5million in August for a season long loan with an option to sign him permanently for a further €20m if he reaches 14 Premier League appearances.
But the striker has failed to adapt to the Premier League and it appears West Ham and Juventus will now cut their losses.
“Zaza will definitely go back to Juve, because West Ham do not want to keep him,” Zacza’s agent Vincenzo Morabito told Juvenews.
Valencia are one side linked with a move for the 25-year-old, but the Spanish club suggest his wages could prove an obstacle.
“The biggest challenge is that the salary that he has at West Ham is absolutely exorbitant,” Valencia sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch said to Superdeporte.
“But that could be negotiated. I don’t know what the coach thinks about this, but if we could reduce his wages, he is a player that we can evaluate.”
I thought his Dad was his agent ? If he isn’t willing to take the clause out about performances get shot, he hasn’t given nearly enough, despite defending him on numerous occaisions the real Zaza never turned up at our club, we got a shell of the player.
