Pereyra will leave Juventus, West Ham a likely destination

After the signing of playmaker Miralem Pjanic from Serie A rivals Roma, Juventus are looking to offload Roberto Pereyra with West Ham, Watford and Zenit St.Petersburg the likely destinations.

According to Goal, Juventus need to sell fringe players before looking to reinvest in their first-team squad and Pereyra is one of the most likely candidates to be sold in the coming weeks.

It was claimed that the Argentine wanted to stay in Turin and prove his worth to manager Massimiliano Allegri, but it seems now the player has come to terms with the fact that his future is no longer at the club.

The Hammers have reportedly lodged a bid to sign the 25-year-old just a year after his £10.5m permanent arrival from Udinese after a successful loan spell during the 2014/15 season.

Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg have also registered their interest in the attacking midfielder by offering him a lucrative five-year contract while Stoke, Sunderland and Tottenham have all been credited with keeping tabs on Pereyra in recent weeks.

Pereyra is said to be keen on a move to English football with West Ham and Watford the two most likely destinations if he opted for a Premier League transfer but neither clubs have met the €15m asking-price for the player which is roughly what Juventus shelled out for him last summer.
