West Ham and Monaco want Anderson

By Football Italia staff

West Ham United have reportedly offered €38m for Lazio’s Felipe Anderson, but the bid is too low and Monaco are also interested.

The Brazilian is under contract until 2020, and the Biancocelesti are keen to open negotiations for a new deal.

The club is offering a deal until 2022, boosting the attacking midfielder’s wages to around €2.5m per season.

There are offers from elsewhere though, with West Ham United reported by Gazzetta dello Sport to have offered €38m.

Lazio are demanding at least €50m though, not least because they must pay Santos 25 per cent of any profit they make.

Super agent Jorge Mendes is also keen to take Felipe Anderson to Monaco, where he’d link up with former teammate Keita Baldé Diao.

Chelsea and Watford are also thought to have made enquiries, but are a long way from an official offer.
