West Ham have made a fresh €20m bid to sign AS Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour, claims L’Equipe.
The Tunisian defender has been heavily linked with a move away from France this summer, with several of Europe’s biggest clubs queueing up for his services.
Manchester United and Liverpool are tracking the player, with AC Milan and Juventus both keen, and have submitted undisclosed bids for the player this month, both of which have been rejected.
It was reported that West Ham were willing to meet Monaco’s €20m asking price for the 25-year-old, but due to the increased interest in their star defender, they have upped their demands to €25m.
It’s now being reported that West Ham have made the largest bid to date for Abdennour – a €20m offer to test Monaco’s resolve, who are still holding out for a slightly larger offer from the East London club.
Atletico Madrid could also be interested in the centre-back. Diego Simeone has just sold Miranda to Inter Milan for €15m, and has lined up Abdennour as a potential replacement.
