Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United are now facing competition from David Moyes’s West Ham United for Nahitan Nandez, according to La Repubblica.
What’s the story?
La Repubblica are reporting that West Ham want to sign Nandez from Cagliari in the summer transfer window.
Italian giants Inter Milan are also reported to be interested in the 25-year-old midfielder.
West Ham were linked with the Uruguay international earlier in the summer.
In May, we covered a report here on HITC Sport from Corriere dello Sport claiming that West Ham are keen on the midfielder.
It seems that the Hammers have rekindled their interest in Nandez.
Blow for Leeds United?
La Repubblica‘s report about West Ham will come as a blow for Leeds.
That’s because Bielsa’s side are very keen on signing the Cagliari star.
Tuttomercatoweb reported over the weekend that Leeds are restarted talks over bringing Nandez from Cagliari.
We covered the report here on HITC Sport.
It seems that Leeds will not have a clear run at the 25-year-old, who scored two goals and gave two assists in 31 Serie A starts for Cagliari last season.
There is likely to be more twists and turns regarding this particular transfer story in the coming days.
