Desperate to return to Marseille, the
France international had demanded that he
be sold in January and the Hammers have
now made a decision
West Ham have taken the decision to sell
Dimitri Payet this January, after the
midfielder angered the club by going on
strike earlier this week, Goal has learned.
West Ham reject £20m Payet bid from
Marseille
Slaven Bil ic revealed on Thursday that
Payet had informed the club of his desire
to leave, and Goal understands that he has
now refused to play for the Hammers,
having set his heart on a move to
Marseille.
West Ham rejected a £20 million bid, plus
£2.5m in add-ons, from the French side
earlier this week, with the club taking the
stance that Payet would not be sold in this
transfer window.
However, sources have since confirmed
that there has been a U-turn, and the club
will now attempt to receive the best
possible price for the 29-year-old.
West Ham are understood to be keen to
make a profit on Payet, having signed him
for a mere £10m in 2015, and value him at
around £40m.
The Hammers had expected to receive
several bids from elite European clubs in
the summer, and subsequently placed a
£60m asking price on his head.
No offer was forthcoming, however, and
the club may now find negotiations
difficult, with Payet desperate to return to
Marseille, the club he left in 2015.
American billionaire Frank McCourt
bankrolls Marseille, and reports suggest
that they are willing to increase their bid
to closer to £30m.
West Ham prepared to fine want-away
Payet
West Ham have been severely
disappointed in Payet’s decision to
attempt to force a move, after previously
pleading with the player to stay until the
summer.
Bilic expressed his anger with Payet in
Thursday’s press conference, and his
exasperation stems from the fact the club
felt that they had reached an agreement
with both the player and his agent that he
would see out the season.
Payet is insistent that he be sold this
window, with sources suggesting that his
reasons are personal.
The playmaker has scored two goals and
provided seven assists in 18 appearances
in the Premier League this season, but will
not be in the matchday squad for this
weekend’s encounter with Crystal Palace.
