Report: West Ham Player Attracts Interest from Two Brazilian Clubs, Irons Consider Loan Exit

According to UOL’s report on Friday (July 12), both Fluminense and RB Bragantino have expressed interest in West Ham United center-back Luizao for a potential loan deal, though formal offers have yet to be made.

Additionally, Turkish club Antalyaspor has shown interest, but West Ham prefers a deal with a European club while considering all options.

Luizao, recently recovered from a fibula injury, has not played for West Ham’s first team and spent last season with the U21 squad.

West Ham is keen on keeping Luizao nearby for his development. The young center-back has shown promise, prompting the club to monitor his progress closely. Sending him to a European club would facilitate better oversight of his growth and potential reintegration into the first team if he impresses, subject to any recall clauses in his contract.

However, if attractive European offers fail to materialize, West Ham may consider loaning Luizao to Brazil. The club prioritizes his development and sees interest from Fluminense and RB Bragantino positively, viewing it as an opportunity for Luizao to gain valuable playing time and experience.

While keeping him nearby remains the preference, West Ham remains open to opportunities that benefit the 22-year-old’s growth, recognizing his need for regular playing opportunities at this stage of his career.
