With only a few hours left in the summer transfer window, West Ham United and Paris Saint-Germain are racing to complete the transfer of Carlos Soler.
For Soler, leaving PSG is crucial as he aims to get back into the plans of Spain’s manager Luis de la Fuente ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
During the 2023-24 season, Soler made 26 appearances for PSG in all competitions, scoring once and providing four assists.
West Ham is eager to sign Soler, and the player himself is interested in the move, signaling a strong mutual desire to complete the transfer.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Soler is enthusiastic about joining West Ham.
The club’s technical director, Tim Steidten, and Spanish manager, Julen Lopetegui, are actively advocating for the transfer, and negotiations are ongoing to finalize the deal before the window closes.
West Ham’s current strategy is to sign Soler on a loan deal with a €25 million obligation to buy.
While other players with lower wages have been considered to maintain the budget, Steidten has presented these alternatives.
However, Lopetegui remains particularly focused on acquiring Soler, suggesting the club will push hard to secure his signing.
