According to the printed version of Catalan news publication Sport, as reported by Sport Witness, West Ham have submitted an offer for Deportivo forward Lucas Perez – but face competition from Barcelona.
The 27-year-old has been in impressive form for the Spanish side in recent times and has consequently attracted interest from a whole host of European clubs.
Perez has reportedly been circled by Barcelona, Villarreal and Valencia in his homeland; three clubs that would certainly propose an attractive destination for the forward.
However, there is also interest from West Ham and Serie A giants Napoli as Perez’s signature continues to be highly sought after.
The report suggests that West Ham are among the teams that have made a proposal to Deportivo regarding a move for Perez this summer; whether the Spanish club’s reported €14 million valuation is matched by The Hammers is another thing.
Although Deportivo are keen to keep hold of Perez on a long-term deal as they remain determined to keep hold of their star striker, the lure of European football elsewhere at a bigger club could prove to be too much to refuse.
Perez is said to be tired of waiting for Catalan giants Barcelona to make a move and is to consider fresh offers.
Could the Spaniard be heading to the Olympic Stadium this summer?
