The Spaniard was reportedly offered to Italian sides during the summer.

Toward the end of last month it was reported that Liverpool were taking a vested interest in the signature of West Ham United midfielder Pedro Obiang.
The Sun reported Jurgen Klopp has been impressed with the West Ham midfielder, who is being valued at £18 million by the London club.
Obiang has been in fine form for the club recently, but it is quite a reversal from the summer – when it looked as though West Ham were happy to let him go.
He had struggled for consistency at West Ham and it was reported he had interest from Italian football, where he had previously played with Sampdoria.

In fact, Corriere dello Sport suggested that West Ham were offering him to potential buyers. Roma, Napoli, Fiorentina, Palermo and Cagliari were all said to have been offered the Spanish midfielder, at a fee of around £5.1 million).
He has therefore turned his career at West Ham around brilliantly after a topsy-turvy start and West Ham fans will not be wanting to lose him for £5.1 million or £18 million based on his form for the club this season.
