Gianluca Scamacca will consider his future at West Ham United once the striker appoints a new agent. But the Irons will demand a profit for any transfer amid interest from AC Milan.
That is according to Calciomercato, which reports Scamacca will evaluate his situation with West Ham once the Italian replaces his representatives. World Soccer Agency axed the 24-year-old this Tuesday, despite his desire to continue the relationship, over a lack of ‘trust’.
The Stellar Group, which already represents Jack Grealish and Jordan Pickford, is now one option for Scamacca. But GR Sports is also considering approaching the Rome-born star to join Beppe Riso’s stable. Riso is also looking at Davide Frattesi, a close friend of Scamacca.
World Soccer Agency helped Gianluca Scamacca secure his move to West Ham
World Soccer Agency had helped to forge Scamacca’s transfer to West Ham from Sassuolo in July. The Irons paid the Neroverdi an initial £30.5m, plus £5m in add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause. But the forward leaving their camp could also now see him leave the Hammers.
Scamacca will assess his situation after appointing a new agency following a mixed spell in east London so far. The nine-cap Italy star has scored seven goals through 24 appearances across all competitions. But he only has three in 16 Premier League outings and started 11.
AC Milan lurk as Gianluca Scamacca considers a transfer away inside one year
West Ham are not, currently, inclined to grant Scamacca a transfer away inside one year of his arrival in England. The Irons would also demand bids in excess of €45m (£39.5m) to just consider cashing in. Yet the near €50m (£44m) it may take is too much for AC Milan to pay.
AC Milan have long had an interest in taking Scamacca to San Siro. But while the Rossoneri want a new striker for next term, they will again rue the club’s decision to baulk at a €25m (£22m) deal a few years ago. The Irons also have the striker under contract until June 2027.
But, for now, Scamacca is focusing on regaining his place in David Moyes’ starting XI. The attacker, who Declan Rice calls ‘special’, watched their past two Premier League games on the bench after his knee injury. He now hopes to start at Manchester United in the FA Cup.
