# €7.5m Fee Agreed For Obiang

West Ham have agreed a fee for Sampdoria midfielder Pedro Obiang, according to Italian sports journalist [Alfredo Pedulla](https://www.alfredopedulla.com/articoli/67167-esclusiva_obiang_accordo_samp_west_ham_i_dettag).

The Spaniard has been a standout player for the Serie A side for a number of seasons, after joining for a nominal fee as a youngster from the Atletico Madrid academy.

The athletic 23-year-old has scored three goals in 32 appearances in Italy this season playing in a box-to-box role, and is seen as the ideal replacement for the departing Alex Song.

West Ham have no interest in stumping up a double-figure fee for the on-loan Barcelona midfielder, not to mention the wages, which are currently in the region of £140,000-a-week.

[Pedulla has previously reported](https://www.alfredopedulla.com/articoli/65829-esclusiva_obiang_west_ham_a_pochi_passi_le_ultim) that the Hammers were edging closer to a deal with Sampdoria for Obiang’s transfer, with the club prepared to pay €6.5m, whereas Sampdoria wanted €8m in order to let him go.

It appears the two clubs have come an agreement, and personal terms will now be discussed.
