On Saturday, we highlighted several reports from France indicating that Carlos Soler’s transfer from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to West Ham United was nearly finalized.
This potential move has been in development for about a week, with speculation and discussions becoming increasingly serious in recent days.
At one point, there were rumors suggesting that Everton might join the race to sign Soler from the Premier League.
However, this seemed more like a strategy to create urgency and push West Ham to expedite their efforts to finalize the transfer, rather than a genuine competitive interest from Everton.
Carlos Soler, the talented Spanish midfielder, was not in PSG manager Luis Enrique’s plans for the upcoming season.
Enrique, who currently wields considerable influence over PSG’s squad decisions, did not see Soler fitting into his preferred lineup.
This made it clear that Soler needed to seek opportunities elsewhere to continue his career.
Meanwhile, over in Spain, the Sunday edition of AS reported that the transfer was on the brink of completion.
They emphasized that their information was based on their own sources, likely from Soler’s representatives.
According to AS, West Ham is set to acquire the 27-year-old on a loan deal that includes a mandatory purchase clause, which would be activated for a fee of €20 million, ensuring Soler’s long-term move to the Premier League club.
