A player’s name is prominently featured at the top of West Ham’s list of targets – A minimum of €25 million is required to secure his transfer.
According to Tuttosport, West Ham United have joined the ranks of Premier League clubs interested in Torino’s Raoul Bellanova. The right-back has notably contributed with a goal and five assists in 30 games, earning him his debut call-up for the Italian national team during the recent international break.
While several English clubs, including Aston Villa and Manchester United, have been monitoring the 23-year-old, West Ham has now entered the fray. The Hammers had a scout observe Bellanova closely in his recent match against Udinese.
David Moyes currently relies on Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson as his right-back options. However, both players’ contracts are set to expire at the end of the season, with West Ham holding an option to extend Coufal’s deal for another year.
Tuttosport suggests that West Ham is likely to secure the signing of at least one right-back in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Bellanova’s name reportedly standing out at the top of their shortlist. Torino acquired the fullback from Cagliari last summer for €7 million.
The report indicates that Torino would demand a minimum of €25 million for Bellanova, with the potential for the price to increase should he earn his debut for the Italian national team and represent them at the Euros.
