#2 West Ham want Maxi Gomez
So far, so London. It feels like this transfer window is for the London clubs alone as most of the stories in the media are about them. In this one, we have something on the Hammers, who are apparently interested in Maxi Gomez.
According to Dharmesh Sheth, if West Ham wants to sign Gomez in this window, then they would have to pay his release clause in full, which is around €50 million. However, Celta would be willing to accept a lower price if West Ham tries to sign him in the summer.
“The information I was getting for someone who was close to the deal was saying that there were 2 different prices: one if they bought him in January and they’d want the full release clause, but if West Ham waited and bought him in the summer then there would be a reduction in the price,” he said.
