West Ham officials have a meeting with Lazio in Italy today as they seek to finalise a deal to sign Felipe Anderson.
According to II Tempo, as reported by Sport Witness, the Hammers are refusing to budge on their €35 million valuation of the player.
The report claims that West Ham are ready to offer €35 million up front with another €5 million included in add-ons.
Sport Witness’ report also cites claims from Il Messaggero, who suggest West Ham’s pursuit of Jordan Lukaku is slowing down the deal being completed.
Both West Ham and Leicester City have been credited with an interest in the Belgian defender.
They claim the Italian outfit want the Hammers to overpay for Lukaku and coincidentally pay less for Anderson.
Santos, Anderson’s former side, will be owed a percentage of the transfer fee should he complete the move to London, so Lazio are keen to keep the fee down.
