Tuttosport newspaper reports West Ham won’t lower their asking price for Nikola Vlasic, so Torino will miss out on signing the Croatia international if they don’t offer at least €13m.
Vlasic spent the last season on loan at the Stadio Grande Torino, but the Granata didn’t activate their option to buy for €15m, hoping to get the player on a permanent transfer for a lower fee.
West Ham have slightly lowered their demands, but according to Tuttosport newspaper, they won’t send Vlasic back to Torino for less than €13m.
Monday’s printed edition of the Turin-based paper (page 11) reports the Croatian is pushing to play for the Granata again, but the Hammers won’t let him leave if Torino don’t match their asking price.
This means Torino risk missing out on his signature if another club offer €13m to sign Vlasic later in the summer transfer window.
The Granata have also targeted Milan winger Junior Messias who is expected to leave after the signing of Christian Pulisic. According to the report, the Rossoneri are ready to sell the 32-year-old for €4.5m.
