West Ham United have been linked with Joao Mario of Inter Milan in the January transfer window.

West Ham United’s reported move for Joao Mario of Inter Milan appears to be heading towards an inevitable collapse.

According to Calciomercato.com, the 25-year-old midfielder is not keen on a move to West Ham from Inter Milan in the January transfer window.

Although the Portugal international still let the discussions between the two clubs continue, according to the report, it has now been claimed that West Ham owners do not want to pay the €1.5 million (£1.32m) loan fee.

Calciomercato.com has reported that West Ham owners are feeling very reluctant to pay the loan fee for a player who is not keen on making the switch to the London Stadium.

Mario is a good and established midfielder, but if the Portugal international does not want to play for West Ham, then the Hammers should not pursue the deal.

There is no point in manager David Moyes working with a player who does not want to play for the team, especially with the Hammers fighting for survival in the Premier League at the moment.
