West Ham United meet Matias Soule representatives in London as Juventus cite demands
West Ham and Leicester City met with the representatives of Juventus attacker Matias Soule in London, according to Tuttosport.
The Italian news outlet reported on 13 June that Juventus have demanded £33.7million in order to seal the deal quickly.
The Hammers are keen on securing more signings with Luis Guilherme joining as the first signing of the Julen Lopetegui era.
West Ham step up transfer interest in Matias Soule
Tim Stediten must now initiate talks with Soule to gauge his interest in joining the club.
The Argentine, a promising talent from Juventus, has attracted attention from several clubs, including the Hammers, following his impressive loan spell at Frosinone.
After meeting with Soule’s representatives, Steidten should assess the player’s enthusiasm for a move to the London Stadium.
If the 21-year-old is interested, the club can then make a lowball offer to Juventus to test their resolve.
Given the financial situation at Juventus, they may be open to negotiating a lower fee for Soule, especially if the player expresses a desire to leave.
By taking this approach, the Irons can potentially secure Soule’s services at a more affordable price, allowing them to allocate their resources more efficiently across other transfer targets.
