Sevilla want £25million urgently for West Ham target Youssef En-Nesyri as transfer news emerges
Sevilla have an “urgent” need to sell West Ham target Youssef En-Nesyri before 30 June, according to Vamos Mi Sevilla.
The Spanish news outlet reported online (30 May) that Sevilla want as close to £25million as possible for their striker.
However, the club have an “urgent” need to make sales before 30 June.
Their financial struggles and rush to find a sale could work against them, with En-Nesyri the most likely player to leave.
Julen Lopetegui will be keen to reunite with Youssef En-Nesyri at West Ham United
Julen Lopetegui’s first transfer window at the London Stadium hasn’t got off to the best of starts.
Although the Hammers looked set to bring Fabricio Bruno to the club, that deal is now stalling.
Their new boss has been known to have a short fuse in the past, something he showed during his time at Wolves.
If the club continue to struggle in the transfer market, relationships could turn sour very quickly.
As a result, this deal for En-Nesyri suddenly becomes very important.
Not only is he a quality player who will bring a goalscoring threat to the club, but he has a previous relationship with Lopetegui.
The two worked together at Sevilla, and reuniting the duo in East London would go a long way in keeping the West Ham boss happy.
With Sevilla desperate to sell, a transfer couldn’t be easier to complete.
As a result, Lopetegui is unlikely to accept any excuses for the deal not being done.
