Carlos Soler close to PSG departure with West Ham loan on horizon | OneFootball

According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, Carlos Soler’s (27) departure from Paris Saint-Germain for West Ham has been confirmed.

It was reported earlier today by Foot Mercato and Relevo, that the Spanish midfielder is expected to arrive in London on a loan with an option to buy for €20 million. A figure that is slightly lower than the previous estimates of €23 million.

West Ham had been close to securing this move earlier in the window but after a busy summer which had seen the club buy multiple players, there was a need to sell before they could buy Soler. Foot Mercato clarified that this impediment has been lifted and the deal was back on for the Spanish midfielder.

Carlos Soler has a big admirer in the English capital

The role of West Ham’s new manager Julen Lopetegui has been pivotal in pushing this move forward, with the former Spain national team manager a big admirer of the midfielder.
