West Ham United have made a deal for Fabricio Bruno a priority as they look to get the deal signed soon, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer specialist has reported (30 May) that the Hammers want the defender to sign documents to complete a move as soon as possible.
There are some “final points to clarify” in the contract offer before Flamengo and West Ham can make the deal official.
Tim Steidten has shown an interest in Wesley Gassova but has now made the signing of Bruno his top priority.
Fabricio Bruno made West Ham priority
A deal for the Brazilian looked as if it was signed, sealed and delivered days ago but now it seems like it is falling at the final hurdle.
The Hammers have been tracking the defender since his international appearance at Wembley against England caught the eye.
Steidten has clearly taken a liking to Bruno and wanted to push the move over the line ahead of the transfer window opening.
This signing appeared as if it was going to be the first of the Julen Lopetegui era in an exciting change of direction for the club.
With wages and the likes becoming an issue between player and club, there is a chance that it could fall through.
This could prove to be disastrous for the Hammers as their first transfer target may fall flat at the final hurdle after looking so close to completion.
West Ham look as if they are going to do everything they can to push a deal over the line.
