Report suggests West Ham may lose 30-year-old to Turkish club before September 13th deadline

West Ham had an outstanding summer transfer window. Under the leadership of manager Julen Lopetegui, the club brought in nine new players, while offloading many of the squad’s underperforming members.

Most notably, Lopetegui managed to retain all of West Ham’s key players, further solidifying the team’s roster ahead of the new season.

While the transfer window was widely considered a success, there is now a potential twist that could impact the Hammers.

One of West Ham’s important players is being heavily linked with a departure.

Although the English transfer window has closed, the Turkish window remains open until Friday, September 13th.

Rumors suggest that one of West Ham’s best players may be targeted for a late transfer.

The player in question is Emerson Palmieri, who was previously linked with a return to Italy during the summer.

However, the 30-year-old Italian international stayed at West Ham.

Now, reports from Turkish outlet Sabah indicate that Galatasaray is keen to sign Palmieri before their window closes.

Despite this, it is highly likely that West Ham will reject any bids for Emerson.

He has become a vital part of Lopetegui’s team, showing significant improvement over the past 12-18 months.

His speed and ability on the ball, particularly on the left flank, are crucial to the team’s style of play.

Additionally, with Aaron Cresswell currently injured and not considered a capable backup for Palmieri, losing him would be a major setback.

Given these factors, it seems improbable that West Ham would let Emerson go.

It would be a huge surprise if he were to leave the club to join Galatasaray in the final days of the Turkish transfer window.
