A top West Ham insider has created more questions than answers when responding to rumours that Konstantinos Mavropanos wants to leave the club.
As reported on [Claret & Hugh earlier](https://www.claretandhugh.info/he-wants-to-leave-west-ham-hit-by-bombshell-as-mavropanos-exit-revealed/), there has been a real back and forth over the future of the Greek defender.
Latest claim sparks fresh uncertainty
-------------------------------------
The speculation reached a peak earlier today when Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg claimed Mavropanos is seeking a move away from East London this summer.
That, understandably, wasn’t too well received.
Insider response offers mixed message
-------------------------------------
However, within the last couple of hours, a senior West Ham source offered a slightly different take:
“I think the player is happy with us but tough if we get relegated as the whole team will want to leave.”
Good news… with a catch
-----------------------
On the one hand, it’s encouraging.
It suggests Mavropanos is settled at West Ham, which would naturally improve the chances of keeping him.
But — and it’s a big but — that second part tells its own story. If West Ham were to go down, it wouldn’t just be one player looking for a way out.
It would be everyone.
