West Ham United are open to allowing defender Luizão in the January transfer window, but want his wages paid in full if they are to sanction it.
That’s according to Trivela, who report that Clube Atlético Mineiro can now be added to the mix of Brazilian clubs eyeing up the defender.
Luizão has been linked with various moves over the course of the last week after it was made clear that he would like to leave West Ham in January.
A growing list of Brazilian clubs appear to be keen on taking advantage of the situation and taking him back to his homeland, with each day seemingly adding a new suitor to the mix.
Trivela now report that the West Ham man has ‘received inquiries’ from Atlético-MG as well as Internacional, Vasco, Corinthians and Grêmio.
They have all been made aware that the Hammers are willing to loan the player for free with an option to buy included in the deal but have made it a requirement that any interested club cover 100% of his salary.
The exact amount he earns at the London Stadium isn’t made clear but Luizão’s contract with the Hammers runs until the end of June 2026.
Either way, Julen Lopetegui’s side have set their requirements to the interested parties, and it now remains to be seen which of the growing list of suitors take up the offer.
