Sport Nation 2West Ham United target Matias Soule has informed Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli of his desire to join Roma, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has two years remaining on his Juventus contract but wants to play alongside his Argentine friends Paulo Dybala and Leandro Parades at Roma.
Corriere dello Sport reported that Soule is keen to link up with his fellow Argentines in Rome. As a result, West Ham has shifted their focus to Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville. Soule’s preference for Roma over West Ham is clear, and he is willing to stay at Juventus if a move to Roma doesn’t materialize.
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is eager to sign an attacking midfielder, but their pursuit of Summerville is not going as planned. With a few weeks until the new Premier League season, West Ham needs to act quickly to secure their targets. They have already signed Max Kilman and Luis Guilherme and are hungry to return to European football after a four-year absence.
In other transfer news, West Ham has been warned that signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney will be expensive. The Hammers are actively seeking new players, and their pursuit of Soule highlights their desire to strengthen their squad. However, Soule’s preference for Roma may force West Ham to explore alternative options.
