West Ham United FC and Paris Saint-Germain FC are close to reaching an agreement on the transfer of Spanish midfielder Soler, according to a new report from Le Parisien. The deal, which is expected to total €23 million, marks the departure of Soler after two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain.
Soler joined Paris Saint-Germain from Valencia for €22 million in the summer of 2022, but his performances in Ligue 1 have not quite lived up to the team's expectations. Nonetheless, he is still widely recognized for his technical ability and professionalism, especially his control and passing vision in midfield.
This move to West Ham United could be a new start for Soler. He will be playing under Spanish coach Lopetegui, which is certainly a familiar and favorable environment for him. Lopetegui is well aware of Soler's abilities and is expected to utilize his full potential in the new season.
According to reports, Soler's personal deal with West Ham United has not yet been finalized, but he could sign a four-year contract. This shows how serious he is about this move and his confidence in his new club.
Paris Saint-Germain's sporting advisor Luis Campos, on the other hand, wants Soler's transfer to be a permanent one rather than a loan with a buyout clause. This shows that Paris Saint-Germain remain cautious and pragmatic in the transfer market, and they want every transfer to be substantial for the team.
