West Ham United signed Mads Hermansen during the summer transfer window, but the Danish goalkeeper is already being linked with an exit.
According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, four Serie A clubs are keen on signing Mads Hermansen. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. The Dane has struggled for regular opportunities at the London club, and it would be ideal for him to move on.
With the World Cup coming up in 2026, he will look to play regularly, and the Hammers might not be able to provide him with the platform. Widespread reports have suggested that a winter exit may be on the cards for the former Leicester City shot-stopper.
Fiorentina, Torino, Lazio, and Udinese are monitoring his situation, and it will be interesting to see if any of them decide to come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done in January. There is no doubt that Hermansen is a quality goalkeeper, and he has shown that with Leicester City. He will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular football once again. Moving to Italy might not be a bad idea for him.
January move for Hermansen could be ideal
Meanwhile, the Serie A clubs are hoping to sign him on loan until the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether West Ham are prepared to accept that. Selling permanently could have been ideal for them.
That said, if Hermansen manages to impress during his loan, they might be able to fetch a substantial amount of money for him in the summer. His market value is likely to soar. Sitting on the bench at the East London club will only lead to depreciation.
It will be interesting to see where the goalkeeper ends up. Hermansen will want to compete at a high level. He will look to join a club where there is a possibility of fighting for trophies. The 23-year-old is very much at the peak of his powers, and he will look to make an instant impact in Italy if the transfer goes through. He could be an asset in the right team.
It will be interesting to see if West Ham is able to recoup a reasonable amount of money for him in the near future. The move has clearly not worked out for either party, and it would be good to part ways.
