Matias Soulé, the talented Argentine forward currently with Juventus, has become a hot commodity in the transfer market, with several clubs vying for his signature. Initially, it appeared that Roma and Leicester City were the primary contenders for the 21-year-old’s services. However, West Ham United has recently emerged as a serious competitor, potentially disrupting the plans of both Roma and Leicester.
According to Tuttosport, West Ham are preparing to make an official offer for Soulé within the next 24 to 48 hours. The proposed bid is expected to be close to Juventus’s asking price of €35 million, which could be sufficient to secure the player’s transfer. This move would force Roma and Leicester City to match West Ham’s offer if they wish to remain in the race for Soulé.
Soulé has expressed a preference for joining Roma, where he would be reunited with fellow Argentinians Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes, as well as Daniele De Rossi, who has spoken highly of him. Despite this, a substantial offer from West Ham could be too tempting for Juventus to refuse, making the English club a strong contender.
The situation remains fluid, with the next few days likely to be crucial in determining Soulé’s future. If West Ham’s offer meets Juventus’s valuation, the Hammers could secure a significant addition to their squad, potentially outmaneuvering Roma and Leicester City in the process.
