Relevo report that Valencia are willing to sell Yunus Musah this summer, despite having previously closed the door to a departure.
Valencia don’t feel the ex-Arsenal academy 20-year-old has played to the level they expected of him in 2023 so far, and they’re particularly concerned about how he performs when things aren’t going well for the team.
With Valencia playing badly and a strong chance that they won’t significantly improve next season, the club are concerned that Musah’s value will only continue to drop.
They’re therefore looking to sell Musah this month, and they’ve put a price tag of €25m on him.
Musah’s agent met with Valencia director Miguel Angel Corona last week, and West Ham United have made enquiries over a transfer.
Relevo add that West Ham have suggested they’re now considering an offer, but not necessarily the full €25m that Valencia want.
Fabrizio Romano reported in May that Arsenal and Chelsea had both been following Musah since January, with Inter Milan also in the mix.
There was no suggestion of a formal move from any of the three clubs, and nothing seems to have changed on that front.
Back in December, following Musah’s performances at the World Cup, David Ornstein reported for The Athletic that a number of Premier League clubs were exploring the signing.
The player was believed to be keen on a new challenge after spending a few years in Spain.
But the following few months haven’t done much to maintain outside interest in such a move.
Speaking about a possible return to north London last year, Musah didn’t rule anything out.
“You never know,” Musah said in November. “I had a great time at Arsenal developing there, I still have friends there, the coaches were great, being an Arsenal player in general is great.
“I loved playing for Arsenal. I’ve nothing against the club and if one day it turns out to be that it’s time to go back then it’s possible.
“For now, I’m really happy at Valencia and I’m looking forward to carrying this season on in the same way we’re doing now.”
