West Ham United do not want to offload Issa Diop on transfer deadline day, but they are open to offers for Fabian Balbuena, according to The Telegraph.
It has been reported that West Ham have no interest in letting Diop go out on loan amid interest from Liverpool.
The Hammers want the French defender to stay, according to the report, which has added that they will sell his teammate Balbuena at the right price.
Fabian Balbuena’s West Ham United spell
Balbuena has been on the books of West Ham since 2018 when he joined from Corinthians.
The central defender scored one goal in 23 Premier League matches for the Hammers during the 2018-19 campaign, according to WhoScored.
According to WhoScored, the Paraguay international made 13 starts and four substitute appearances in the league for the Hammers last season, and so far this campaign, he has scored one goal in 12 league games.
West Ham are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 35 points from 21 matches and are challenging for the Champions League places.
It would make sense for West Ham to keep Balbuena to maintain their squad depth.
