West Ham United wanted to sign Alex Garcia Bayer Leverkusen, according to the summer transfer window Aitory.
The hammers are enthusiastic about the Mateus Fernandes Southampton Playmaker’s summer deal, but they are struggling to achieve a deal with the London clubs.
Southampton wants more than £ 50 million for Fernandes, but West Ham is not ready to pay and today they shone to Garcia.
The journalist Graeme Bailey said Aitory Asked about Lucas Paqueta: “They were next to him, so I think there is a massive push for him. The debate on the western ham is completely rejected when accepting £ 30 million.
“He’s playing in the last two years, it’s not like Pogba, it’s not banned, it doesn’t pass two years at the edges.
“Then why would they leave suddenly £ 70 feet until £ 30m? That is nonsense – they have other options.”
Bailey followed: “A chance is Leverkusen Aleix Garcia, a fairly player, isn’t really anyone’s radar at this time.
“There are other players, but West Ham had to release the funds first. They liked Jakob Ramsey, but that was never a chance.
“Harvey Elliott has been another goal, but after leaving Mohammed Kdus, they had only £ 40m and spent £ 15/20 million in Hermans’s. Funds are very limited.
“Someone like Garcia could be available for this type of money. James Ward-prowse has been considered, but there are players who want to move forward.”
