West Ham United are keen on expediting the summer move for PSG midfielder Carlos Soler, with the Ligue 1 champions valuing him at €20 million.
According to a report by Spanish outlet El Desmarque, Carlos Soler is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers want to speed up the move to sign the Spanish midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 champions want to recoup around €20 million from Soler’s sale.
Carlos Soler and his struggles at PSG
Carlos Soler has struggled to make his mark since joining Paris Saint-Germain from Valencia in September 2022. The Spaniard was one of the best midfielders in La Liga before moving to Parc des Princes but has not had enough opportunities to prove his credentials at the Ligue 1 club.
The 27-year-old has turned out 63 times thus far for PSG while managing less than 3,000 minutes of game time, chipping in with eight goals and eight assists. However, despite struggling for starts in the PSG midfield, Soler’s stock in the market remains high midway through the summer transfer window.
Recent reports have linked the Spanish midfielder with several well-known Premier League clubs, with intermediaries have offered him to bigwigs like Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. The latest updates have linked Soler with West Ham United, while he is also a target for Real Sociedad.
Will West Ham sign Soler?
West Ham United’s interest in Carlos Soler is understandable. The Hammers have been keen on signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Lucas Paqueta, who has been embroiled in a betting scandal for over 12 months.
So, several candidates have emerged on West Ham’s radar, with a late move for the Spaniard on the cards. The Hammers now want to expedite a deal for the struggling PSG midfielder, with the Ligue 1 champions wanting to recoup around €20 million from his sale in the summer transfer window.
With Real Sociedad scrambling to keep hold of Mikel Merino amid the Spanish midfielder’s links with Arsenal, the Hammers want to take advantage of the situation and beat La Real to Carlos Soler’s signature. The price tag of €20 million is not excessive, and it will be interesting to see if West Ham can land the 27-year-old.
