West Ham & Felipe Anderson stuck in financial dispute – report
West Ham United are said to be in a financial dispute with Felipe Anderson, according to La Lazio Siamo Noi.
The Italian outlet has insisted on their website that the Brazilian has all but completed his move back to his former club.
It is suggested that it won’t be completed until this financial issue is resolved, something the Irons are trying not to “recognise.”
This could really drag this move out.
David Gold and David Sullivan will be in a position where they need to get rid of some players in order to strengthen the budget.
Anderson is the clear candidate to leave the London Stadium and has been allowed to do so for little-to-no transfer fee.
Fabrizio Romano has shared the update that the winger will be basically released to make the move, leaving West Ham with nothing but a sell-on clause.
The fact that the Irons have basically terminated his current deal in order to let him leave, rather than drag this out, makes this bonus almost irrelevant, but here the winger is showing his true colours.
Tug of war.
There is a big three-way dispute going on right now.
Lazio will just want the player as soon as possible, given he will have to quarantine before completing the logistics of the move.
West Ham won’t want to pay a player who has done nothing for the club in the past year, is clearly on the way out and who has been released for no fee.
Anderson clearly disagrees and wants every last penny that he could be handed before leaving this dreadful spell of his career in the past.
It will be up to the Brazilian whether he drags this further, but in past experiences, it would take a brave man to take on GSB.
