West Ham United come up with smart transfer plan to sign Luizao
West Ham and Fulham are not willing to spend a big amount of money for Luizao who is all set to leave Sau Paulo in the coming months, as per ESPN Brazil.
The 20-year-old defender has a contract at the club until January 2023. The Brazilian club could only make some profit if they sell him before the end of his contract.
The Hammers are not keen to pay a “considerable” amount of money for the young talent, but they could offer the Brazilian club a percentage on future transfer.
The offer could appeal to Sau Paolo. There is a strong chance that the player could end up at a bigger club, and in that case, Sau Paulo could receive a handsome transfer fee.
Brazilian journalist, Andre Hernan, claimed on his YouTube channel that the Hammers are leading the race for the youngster’s signature.
Smart
Sau Paolo have made three offers already for the youngster, but he has rejected all of them.
The young defender dreams of playing in Europe, and especially in the Premier League, and his dream could come true if he joins either West Ham or Fulham in January.
He has not played in every game in the Brazilian league in 2022, and it is most likely that he will be seen as a player for the future.
Moyes will want to develop him gradually. The Hammers have the likes of Kurt Zouma, Nayef Aguerd, Thilo Kehrer and Craig Dawson as options at the back. However, with Dawson being linked with a move away, the door could open for the youngster to get into the senior side.
It is definitely a big gamble to sign someone who has not played in European football before, but the scouts must have observed his talent and potential. Both the clubs now need to reach an amicable solution for Luizao.
