West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing the Porto hitman.
According to a report from Portuguese media outlet Record, Moussa Marega is desperate to leave Porto this summer, and is trying to force through a move to West Ham.
The 27-year-old was on fire for Porto last season, scoring 22 goals in 29 Primeira Liga outings, and unfortunately for his club, his fine performances have obviously not gone unnoticed.
Portuguese publication Record claims that the Hammers are keen to sign the striker, and are prepared to pay €30 million (£26.7 million) to secure his services.
They also claim that Porto are not willing to sell for a penny less than €40 million (£35.6 million), though, so it appears that both clubs have reached an impasse.
Record claims that the Mali international is desperate to join West Ham, and is trying to force through a move to the London Stadium by refusing to play for Porto tonight in their Super Cup clash with Aves.
If the Hammers really want Marega, an increased offer might just be enough to bring him to east London, although it is unlikely that they will be willing to go all the way to Porto’s valuation of the striker.
