West Ham United are in “very advanced” talks to sign Luis Guilherme, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Hammers are closing in on the signing of the Palmeiras forward, despite suggestions a Saudi club could hijack the move [Give Me Sport, 4 June].
Romano, speaking exclusively to Give Me Sport (4 June), has provided an update on the negotiations.
“Guilherme, the negotiation is very advanced. West Ham and Palmeiras are checking all the contracts and the documents,” he said.
“They are discussing the structure of the deal, how to activate the add-ons. There is a 20% sell-on clause, so it’s a complicated deal in terms of the structure, but they are advancing well.
“The negotiation is still going very well. Obviously, they want to get it signed, because they know it’s always dangerous in Brazil until the end. But at the moment, the negotiation is still ongoing.
West Ham won’t relax until Luis Guilherme has arrived at London Stadium
No matter what Romano says, West Ham supporters won’t yet feel relaxed.
