Romano: Hammers Massive Transfer is Happening. Top transfer journalist and ITK Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that West Ham’s deal to bring Luis Guilherme to East London is happenin
Speaking on his social media platforms, the Italian transfer expert wrote: “West Ham verbally agree deal to sign Brazilian talent Luis Guilherme! Agreement done with Palmeiras pending medicals to take place in England next week.
West Ham Crashes Newcastle’s Kelly Party
€23m fixed fee, €7m add-ons, 20% sell-on clause to Palmeiras. Final steps then… here we go, soon.”
Romano has left himself some wriggle room by putting the word ‘soon’ at the end of his usual catchphrase, but he has remained confident in the transfer throughout. The Italian is one of Tim Steidten’s favoured journalists, so this information can be considered reliable. The Hammer director of football has remained in South America in a attempt to close the deal.
This also mirrors news Claret & Hugh has received from the club and an agent close to the deal over the last few days.

A club owner has admitted that he’s essentially powerless to stop West Ham United signing his star player this summer. West Ham thought they had completed their first signing of the summer window last week.
The Hammers agreed a deal with Flamengo for centre-back Fabricio Bruno for around £12.5m. But the move collapsed with the real reason nothing to do with money as was being speculated.
Some West Ham fans were not too disheartened as they had been questioning the wisdom of the deal. There were concerns that Bruno may struggle to adapt having never played outside of Brazil.
And some also had reservations about the fact he turns 29 next season. Before Julen Lopetegui was officially unveiled by West Ham, reports in the press had linked with Hammers with a number of British players from the Championship and Premier League.
The Guardian reported that West Ham wanted to sign Championship duo Jacob Greaves and Callum O’Hare.
