Lazio are demanding that West Ham pay €40 million for their summer transfer target Felipe Anderson, according to Football Italia.
The Hammers have already bid €20m, including add-ons, but the Italians are demanding much more than this and want at least €40 million for the player.
The 25-year-old has come through the ranks at Lazio and has since made over 100 appearances in the Serie A for the club.
He made 32 appearances in all competitions last term and contributed eight goals across both Europa League and Serie A.
The player would be a marquee signing for the Hammers as they look to build on last season after floating with relegation for much of the season.
The Italian’s have in the past turned down offers of €50m for the player, but would be open to offers of €40m with it being made clear that the player would be keen on a move away.
