# Real Madrid prepare €60m Payet bid

Real Madrid are believed to be preparing a mega €60m bid to sign West Ham star Dimitri Payet this summer.

According to Italian source [Tuttosport](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/europa/non-solo-pogba-il-real-madrid-prepara-60-milioni-per-payet-844388), Real Madrid held talks with Payet’s agent yesterday in London regarding a summer move after the Euros and have mentioned the possibility of launching a €60m bid.

West Ham signed the Frenchman for £10.5m last summer from Marseille which is now looking like a snippet of his true value having seen his performances over the last 12 months which have earned him a recall to the national side.

He has been the shining light for France too at Euro 2016, scoring the 89th-minute winner in their opening game against Romania, then the second in a 2-0 win over Albania in their second fixture. France topped the group following a draw with Switzerland.

Real Madrid want to make some big moves this summer and are locked in talks over a world-record move for Payet’s France team-mate Paul Pogba of Juventus, [but are also looking to bring in the 29-year-old](https://readwestham.com/2016/06/21/real-madrid-meet-payets-agent/).

West Ham are understood to have placed a £60m price-tag on Payet’s head this summer to deter European giants from making a move, but Madrid look set to test their resolve with a bid in the coming weeks. This transfer saga will likely rumble on throughout the summer.
