West Ham United star Gianluca Scamacca transfer pursuit takes fresh twist amid Roma and AC Milan links
West Ham could lose another first-team player after Declan Rice amid Gianluca Scamacca’s transfer links with foreign clubs.
According to Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio [23 June], after losing out on Marcus Thuram to rivals Inter Milan, AC Milan are now keen on signing the 24-year-old.
Roma are also interested in bringing the Italy international back to the Serie A after his torrid first season in the Premier League.
Set to leave?
An exit is on the cards for Scamacca with his agents being in talks with Roma over a move away from the London Stadium this summer.
With David Moyes staying on, the Italian may feel that he will be underutilised for the second season in a row and could look for a transfer out.
The Scotsman’s style of play does not suit the Italian as well as he prefers the game in the Serie A where he played some of his best football.
West Ham will want to be compensated well as they shelled out decent money to bring him to the club in the first place.
It remains to be seen where he ends up and if Moyes can actually convince him to stay on for another season at the club.
Writing someone off after one season is premature and hopefully, he has another year to silence his critics at the Hammers.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers are already preparing to cash in on the Declan Rice money as they hold a transfer meeting in London as they’re confident of sealing a £50million signing.
