10 years of FIF
Calciomercato report that West Ham would not likely accept a bid of anything else than €40-45 million for the 24-year-old. Because:At this point I would even loan Scamacca as a rotational option. He can't be worse than the three above.
West Ham paid a €36 million fee to sign the 24-year-old from Sassuolo last summer, which could rise to €42 million including add-ons.
Moreover, a 10% share of any fee from the striker being sold would be owed to the Neroverdi per a clause in the deal with West Ham.
On Firmino:
We aren't gonna get gazumped by an MLS team which was created three years ago and joined the league only just this year, right?
It`s about Lutz:
Transfemarkt understands that the player’s camp prefers a transfer to Italy where Inter Milan is in the pole position. Should, by some miracle, St. Louis CITY SC team beat out Inter Milan, Firmino would instantly become the most valuable player in MLS.Usually, Firmino would be considered too old to be a transfer target for St. Louis’ squad. But it is no secret that St. Louis CITY SC sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel has had a close relationship with Firmino.
Pfannenstiel discovered the 31-year-old forward in Brazil and then led the effort to bring him to Hoffenheim where Firmino quickly developed into a star. Furthermore, the club’s assessment is that Firmino is still in his prime and could help the expansion side long-term.
The fact that Firmino is in his prime, however, makes a transfer to MLS, in general, difficult. While St. Louis will try, the understanding is that Firmino would prefer a move within Europe next summer.
Don`t extend Dzeko and Lukaku loan. Bring both Firmino and Thuram on a free, probably the best we can hope for with the current finances.
