West Ham United are set to sign Carlos Soler on a permanent deal
Carlos Soler’s successful loan spell at West Ham United has put the club in a strong position to secure his permanent transfer.
The Spanish midfielder, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, has impressed with his form, making it clear that West Ham may want to move forward with his signing, according to reports. The Parisian.
Although the initial loan deal does not include an obligation to buy, West Ham negotiated an option to buy worth up to £16.6m.
With a number of clubs interested in him during the summer transfer window when Julen Lopetegui signed him on loan, the Hammers are keen to seal his future now, especially after seeing his positive attitude and commitment.
The Hammers plan to hold further meetings in the coming months to finalize discussions and potentially trigger the purchase option to keep Soler at the club permanently.
Soler’s future at Paris Saint-Germain appears uncertain as he is not part of Luis Enrique’s long-term plans.
The player will not be widely used by the PSG manager even if he returns to his parent club in Ligue 1, making his signing by the Hammers easier than previously expected.
Carlos Soler has been the star performer for West Ham United
The midfielder has been impressive for Lopetegui’s side this season and has been one of the club’s successful summer signings.
While the other signings haven’t gone too well so far, Soler has been the silver lining for struggling West Ham.
His performances have seen Lucas Paqueta dropped from the team, which shows how well the midfielder has played for the club.
The Spaniard has brought a new dimension to West Ham’s central midfield and it is no surprise that the Premier League side are considering a permanent move for the 27-year-old.
While Soler has been brilliant at the club, their other summer signing, Guido RodrÃguez, has struggled to make an impact and he could be offloaded in the January transfer window.
It is expected that Lopetegui’s team will be active to make transfers again and Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is on their radar.
