West Ham United are interested in signing Barcelona prodigy Doro Fernandes.
The 17-year-old is highly rated and could develop into a quality player for the London club in the future. According to a report from Fichajes, they are considering an offer of 20 million euros for the player.
It will be interesting to see if Barcelona are willing to sell the player. He is a bright young talent with a big future and the Spanish team may regret the decision to let him leave. Meanwhile, the Hammers are looking to build for the future and it is no surprise that they are keen to sign a promising young player like Fernandes.
Chelsea and Manchester City are both interested in signing Fernandes. In addition, Liverpool and Manchester United are also keeping an eye on the player.
Will Barcelona release Doro Fernandes?
The 17-year-old midfielder is already part of Barcelona’s first team. It’s clear that they value him highly. They don’t want to lose someone with potential. Additionally, West Ham will find it difficult to convince midfielders to join. He wants to continue playing for his boyhood club and will aim to win big trophies with the club. A move to West Ham could be seen as a departure for him.
Can West Ham convince Fernandes?
It will be interesting to see what happens if West Ham submit a formal offer to finalize the deal. It has been a disappointing season for the London club, but they will be looking to bounce back strongly. To attract elite young talent like Fernandes, they have to finish in a respectable position. They need to be able to convince him that he can achieve his ambitions with them.
It would be reasonable to assume that it would be a difficult transfer to cross the line.
