Adama Traoré Transfer from Fulham to West Ham United
West Ham has a transfer strategy to support Nuno that includes attempting to sign his targets, and Adama Traore is identified as a primary target. Nuno and Mendes have previously worked with the Fulham winger.
Efforts to sign Fulham winger Adam Traore have stopped. The 'Hammers' refuse to pay the £7 million fee demanded by their London rivals. It is believed that it was Espirito Santo, who coached Traore for three years at Wolves, who insisted on his arrival this January.
Widespread reports indicated that West Ham were set to sign Adama Traore. According to insider ExWHUemployee, however, Fulham are believed to be making a deal for the player far more difficult for West Ham than was anticipated.
Sources from West Ham insist that the clubs had an agreement before the transfer window opened, and that there was hope a deal could be completed quickly. Marco Silva claimed that there has not been any offer for the winger. There is still a belief that Traore will be allowed to leave before the January window closes on Monday, February 2 at 7pm. Talks are open to try to resolve the situation.
West Ham are negotiating a nominal fee of under £1 million for Adama Traore, as the player is out of contract in the summer. The main complication is wages. Traore earns £120,000 per week at Fulham and is unlikely to accept a pay cut, which means West Ham have a decision to make. Nuno Espirito Santo attempted to sign Traore for Nottingham Forest in the summer, when Fulham's asking price was around £10 million.
According to Nicola Schira, an agreement is close for Fulham player Adama Traore to move to West Ham on loan until the end of the season.
West Ham are seeking to complete a short-term deal for Fulham winger Adama Traoré, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
West Ham United have reportedly agreed personal terms with Fulham winger Adama Traore. A deal could be delayed as West Ham would have to remove some players to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. Fulham are also not in a hurry to finalise a transfer imminently because with players away at AFCON, manager Marco Silva is more reliant on Traore for upcoming games. The situation is considered advanced and the move is viewed as highly likely to be completed this month.
According to The Sun, West Ham have been told to pay £7million for Adama Traore. Officials from West Ham and Fulham held their first face-to-face discussions about a deal for Traore during last Saturday’s game between the two clubs. West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is interested in a reunion with Traore, whom he previously managed at Wolves. Traore is in the final year of his contract and can leave for free at the end of the season. Fulham are reluctant to let Traore go until Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, and Calvin Bassey return to England from the Africa Cup of Nations, which may not be until after the January 18 final. West Ham will try to lower the price, but Fulham are not eager to sell.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Adama Traoré is set to join West Ham from Fulham during the January transfer window. The signing of Adama Traoré by West Ham was requested by Nuno Espirito Santo. Adama Traoré will sign a contract with West Ham until 2028.
Pete O’Rourke has confirmed, according to Football Insider, that there is a genuine interest from West Ham in Fulham player Adama Traore. O’Rourke stated that he is sure it is something that Nuno would probably like to explore, noting that Traore probably enjoyed his best spell of form under Nuno at Wolves between 2018 and 2021. O'Rourke thinks there is admiration from both and that there could potentially be interest in a reunion between the pair at West Ham. Traore is coming to the end of his contract at the end of the season.
Sky Sports reports that Adama Traoré is being considered by West Ham as a good option to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season. Nuno Espirito Santo, who previously managed Adama at Wolverhampton, wants to reunite with him. Santo previously attempted to do so when he was the manager of Nottingham Forest. Adama Traoré's contract with the Craven Cottage team expires next summer, which means this winter is the last opportunity for the club to receive a transfer fee for him.
West Ham United are exploring a move for 29-year-old Spanish winger Adama Traoré of Fulham during the January transfer window, which would reunite him with new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, according to TEAMtalk. Traoré's contract with Fulham runs until the summer of 2026, and his market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt to be €9.00m.
