Soungoutou Magassa Expected to Depart West Ham as Transfer Window Nears Closure
Soungoutou Magassa, a 22-year-old midfielder, is likely to leave West Ham United before the upcoming transfer window closes. The young France international has captured interest primarily from Spain and Italy, according to information from Foot Mercato.
Since West Ham’s relegation to Ligue 2, Magassa has not made any appearances for the team. The club has been eager to offload him, and interest in the former AS Monaco player has been considerable. While earlier in the transfer window there was potential interest from Germany, Spain and Italy have now become the most probable destinations.
Foot Mercato reports that both Bologna and Sevilla have put forward bids for Magassa. These proposals consist of loan agreements with obligatory purchase options included. West Ham is reportedly leaning towards accepting these offers. Although there was also interest from Germany’s Red Bull Leipzig and a possibility for a return to France with Lille OSC, both only initiated inquiries rather than formal bids for the midfielder.
