Fabrizio Romano has revealed the latest on West Ham’s attempts to sign Luis Guilherme as they get closer to an announcement.<\/p>\n
Romano reported<\/a> on June 2 that Guilherme is set “to travel for medical”. All documents are being prepared as West Ham try to reinvest the \u00a3105 million\u00a0<\/a>fee that they received for Declan Rice last summer.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>\u2018Top Class\u2019 Premier League Player Responds To Being Charged With Spot-Fixing For Yellow Cards Accumulation<\/a><\/p>\n The journalist continued to note that West Ham “hope for deal to be sealed early next week”. An early piece of business (with the transfer window not even open yet<\/a>) will suit this deal well: an 18-year-old will need time to settle in, especially in a team with a brand new manager in Julian Lopetegui.<\/p>\n Previously, Romano revealed<\/a> that West Ham will pay a hefty \u20ac30 million to Palmeiras. This may seem like a high price for an 18-year-old with less than 1000 club minutes under his belt, especially with just one goal and one assist this season.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0 <\/strong>\u2018Negotiations At Final Stages\u2019: Chelsea Poised To Make \u2018Special\u2019 Defender First Signing For Enzo Maresca<\/a><\/p>\n However, he is very highly rated in Brazil – pegged as the “next Ronaldinho”.<\/a> Even Liverpool had been interested<\/a> in the youngster, with reports of a \u00a340 million asking fee. There will also (smartly) be a 20% sell-on clause for the winger.<\/p>\nThe Chase So Far<\/h3>\n
