Gustavo Sá Transfer from Famalicão to West Ham United
Earlier this month, a move for Gustavo Sá to West Ham seemed likely, with a €20m (£17.3m) deal being widely reported in Portugal. The midfielder was expected to travel for a medical and a five-year contract was said to be waiting for him in London, but these events did not take place. The expected medical never occurred and Gustavo Sá remained with Famalicão. Club president Miguel Ribeiro did not confirm any agreement when asked about the midfielder’s future. New manager Carlos Carvalhal continued to work with the 21-year-old but admitted he would be surprised if players of Gustavo Sá’s quality were still at the club once the transfer window closed. During that period, there was no suggestion the move had collapsed, but it did not progress. After the Hammers failed to complete the deal, Nottingham Forest have become involved and appear ready to finalize it.

West Ham are reportedly focusing on Gustavo Sá as a key target, but there are no new developments regarding a possible transfer. The only apparent obstacle seems to be the transfer fee, as Famalicao are reportedly not in a rush to sell their star midfielder.

According to both Record and O Jogo, Gustavo Sá was left out of Famalicão’s latest pre-season friendly against Lourosa. O Jogo argued that the omission reinforced the belief he was leaving the club and also acknowledged that the story linking him to West Ham had become 'enigmatic'. At the beginning of July, the transfer had been described by O Jogo as nearly arranged, and the outlet also reported that a five-year contract was waiting for the player. According to Record, West Ham were a possibility for Gustavo Sá, who remained one of the players most likely to leave this summer. Both Record and O Jogo continue to present West Ham as the leading destination. As reported by A Bola, Famalicão’s president Miguel Ribeiro stated that Sá has approaches but that Famalicão are prepared for whatever may happen. Carlos Carvalhal also admitted he would be surprised if Gustavo Sá remained at the club, because players of that quality would only stay if other clubs were not paying attention.
