West Ham United signed Valentin Castellanos in the winter transfer window, and he is already being linked with a move away from the club.
According to Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Flamengo are interested in securing Valentin Castellanos’s signature in the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see if West Ham United is prepared to sell a player for whom they paid £26 million in the winter transfer window. The Hammers need quality and depth in the attacking unit, and they cannot afford to sanction the departure of the South American striker in the summer. They have struggled to score goals this season.
Valentin Castellanos has proven his quality in Italy, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for the East London club in the Premier League. They need players of his quality, and he could be an important member of the first team.
West Ham are under no pressure to sell the striker at the end of the season, and it seems highly unlikely that the Brazilian club will be able to get the deal done. However, things may change if the Hammers suffer relegation from the Premier League in the coming months.
West Ham unlikely to let Castellanos leave the club
It will be interesting to see if Flamengo decide to test the resolve of the Premier League club with an offer in the summer. West Ham are currently focused on surviving in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if they can secure safety this season. They need to improve the squad in multiple areas, and weakening the attacking unit will not be a part of their plan.
The East London outfit must do everything in their power to keep the club’s quality players and build around them. The Brazilian outfit will have to make an exceptional offer to convince them. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to break the Bank for Castellanos.
West Ham paid £26 million to sign the player, and they will look to make a substantial profit on him if they are forced to sell him at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
