West Ham United are in contention to make a late move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Aleix García this summer, according to multiple claims from Germany.
Last summer, the midfielder left Girona for the Bundesliga club, managing five goals and four assists from 42 games in his debut season.
Prior to his move Germany, West Ham tried to sign him. That’s according to Kicker, and they report the Hammers have now returned for García.
They say the Premier League club can make a new attempt, after renewing their interest in the 28-year-old.
Sky Deutschland back up West Ham’s desire to sign the Spaniard and then provide an update.
It’s claimed Graham Potter’s side have a ‘concrete interest’ in securing García’s services before Monday’s deadline. They have already approached the German club to find out the conditions needed to sign him.
The two clubs have verbally exchanged details and Bayer Leverkusen have set a €20m price. Sky add West Ham haven’t submitted an official bid yet and it’s unclear whether they will make one.
Both Kicker and Sky make no mention of whether García is open to moving to the London club.
