West Ham have been set an asking price of €10m if they wish to sign Genoa midfielder Rolando Mandragora, according to Calcio Mercato.
The Italian source claims that Genoa’s midfield sensation could be on the move next summer and that club president Enrico Preziosi wants, at least €10m, or £7.25m for the player.
Mandragora broke into the Genoa first-team last season, and the promising 18-year-old has been sent out on loan to Pescara for the 2015/16 season for some regular game time.
The teenager is already a regular in Italy’s U21 international side and is being tipped for a very bright future in world football.
West Ham enjoyed great success in the Italian football market last summer, signing Angelo Ogbonna and Pedro Obiang from Juventus and Sampdoria respectively, who are now integral parts of the first-team squad.
Mandragora could be seen as an alternative to signing Alex Song on a permanent basis. The former Arsenal man is on a season-long loan from Barcelona with an option of a further year’s loan.
