# Virals: Fabrizio Romano confirms ‘done deal’ for Felipe Anderson

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/07/07/virals-footage-emerges-as-angelo-ogbonna-celebrates-italy-victory/) look to have completed the sale of [Felipe Anderson](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/25/virals-west-ham-reportedly-ready-to-listen-to-offers-for-quartet/) to former club Lazio.

The Brazilian winger has been [widely tipped](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jan/04/west-ham-felipe-anderson-end-loan-spell-porto) to leave the Hammers this summer after falling out of favour with David Moyes.

Having spent a [disappointing campaign](https://www.sofascore.com/player/felipe-anderson/152276) on loan at FC Porto last season, the 28-year-old was unlikely to force a way back into the Scotsman’s plans.

Reputable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1412898166039621634) to confirm the deal was all set.

Elsewhere, a report from [Football Italia](https://football-italia.net/done-deal-felipe-anderson-to-lazio/) has stated the fee for Anderson’s services will be €3million (£2.5million).

Signed from Lazio for £34.2million in 2018 ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44810938)), the [one cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/nationalmannschaft/spieler/159372/verein_id/3439) Brazilian will leave east London having made [73 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/159372) for the club – scoring 12 and assisting 13 goals.

Last season in Portugal, Anderson made just [10 outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/159372) across all competitions after starting the campaign slowly at the London Stadium.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Still valued at £9million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/marktwertverlauf/spieler/159372)), the mooted fee is no doubt a crippling blow to the finances at the Irons.

Albeit money off the wage bill and an incoming fee, over a [£30million deficit](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/transfers/spieler/159372) from the expenditure in just three years is a huge swing.

Perhaps the most curious feature in the deal is the 50 per cent sell on clause, something the hierarchy surely don’t hold out hope of making a profit from given the player’s age and [career trajectory](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/15130/11637287/felipe-anderson-form-analysed-since-joining-west-ham).

Nevertheless, Anderson [had to move on](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdaten/spieler/159372) for his own good and Moyes will move on and look to use the squad space, money and remainder of the transfer window to bolster the squad accordingly.
