West Ham United-linked Matias Soule wants to play with his friends as Juventus weigh up offer
West Ham United-linked Matias Soule wants to join Roma to play alongside his Argentinian friends Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Italian paper reported via its online edition on Tuesday (July 23) that while the Hammers have shown interest in Soule, they haven’t made an official offer yet and are currently focusing on Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United.
Juventus are in the midst of weighing up an offer of around £25million from Roma, which includes bonuses, as they look to sell the versatile forward.
Despite West Ham’s financial strength, Soule’s preference for staying in Serie A is a major factor with Roma having already agreed personal terms with the 21-year-old, Corriere said.
West Ham likely to miss out on Matias Soule
It looks like the Hammers might miss out on signing Soule from Juventus. Even though they have the money, West Ham haven’t made an official offer yet and are now looking at Summerville instead.
Meanwhile, Roma has raised their bid to around £25m, showing they really want Soule. The young player also prefers to stay in Italy and play with his friends Dybala and Paredes at Roma.
