Just Now: West Ham’s Major Sale in Jeopardy, Three Top Clubs Unwilling to Match Asking Price

January 6, 2024

Yo, rumor has it that West Ham ain’t budging an inch when it comes to their boy, Said Benrahma! They’ve slapped a cool £20 million tag on him, and that’s got some clubs playing the “mmm, maybe not” game. Can you believe it?

Word on the street is, Premier League’s Wolves and Fulham are eyeing Benrahma, and across the channel, French side Lyon is also keen on bringing him back to his home turf. But here’s the kicker – all of them seem to agree: West Ham’s price tag is way up there in the clouds.

Lyon, especially, is thirsty for a piece of the Benrahma pie after facing some rough patches in the first half of this season. They’re thinking of swooping in with a sweet loan deal. Picture this: Benrahma back in Ligue 1, tearing it up, with an option for Lyon to seal the deal in the summer. Sounds like a plan, right?

Over in the Wolves’ den, they’re still feeling the sting of Financial Fair Play issues, which means that bagging Benrahma for £20 million might be a stretch. Instead, they’re eyeing up the loan market for a potential steal.

Then there’s Fulham, sitting on the cash to pull off a £20 million deal, but they’re not entirely sold on the price. “Value for our money?” they wonder.

And get this, the plot thickens! Benrahma’s faced a bit of a rough patch, with just one assist this season and missing a crucial penalty against Arsenal. Ouch! But hey, West Ham’s gonna have him on deck for January and February while he’s skipped out of the African Cup of Nations.

And if you’re wondering how long this drama’s gonna last, buckle up, ’cause Benrahma’s locked in with West Ham ’til June 2026.
