Coventry City are interested in West Ham United's 28-year-old Greek defender Konstantinos Mavropanos as part of a strategy to target players from relegated Premier League sides. Manager Frank Lampard's team has identified the centre-back as a potential upgrade to their current squad. According to former Coventry assistant manager Mick Brown, Mavropanos is a target for the club. The player is considered highly likely to leave the London Stadium this summer. It is reported that he is no longer happy at West Ham, and it was revealed on 16 July that he is seeking a transfer. Coventry's interest continues even as they are nearing an agreement to sign Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Aurele Amenda, because they want to strengthen the position with multiple new signings. However, they face competition from Premier League rivals Leeds United and a number of Bundesliga clubs, including Borussia Dortmund. It is rumoured that Germany is his preferred destination. Mavropanos has 42 caps for Greece, joined West Ham in August 2023, and has a contract until June 2028. His current market value is €18.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In July 2026, reports suggested West Ham could ask for £30-35 million, while in May 2026 their expected demand was reportedly around £26 million.
