Juventus are becoming increasingly interested in signing West Ham star Dimitri Payet, this according to reports in Sport Witness.
After Juan Cuadrado returned to Chelsea after his loan deal expired, the Italian champions have been looking for a replacement.
Names thrown into the ring have included Manchester City attacker Samir Nasri and Chelsea’s Oscar, but it’s Payet who is said to be the apple of the Old Lady’s eye.
Tuttosport have suggested that the transfer fee could be somewhere between €40 and €50 million, although Hammers fans would no doubt bemoan such a low figure.
If one of the Premier League’s biggest stars was to move away, one would imagine a considerably heftier price tag.
West Ham have repeatedly outlined their stance of wanting to keep the Frenchman, and it doesn’t appear that any offer would be enough to remove Payet from the Olympic Stadium this summer.
