West Ham United Set to Make Carlos Soler’s Stay Permanent with €20m Purchase Option
West Ham United are reportedly poised to exercise their purchase option to sign Carlos Soler on a permanent deal from Paris Saint-Germain. According to Le Parisien, the Premier League side have initiated discussions with the Ligue 1 champions to secure the 27-year-old midfielder’s services beyond his current loan spell.
Soler, who joined West Ham on summer deadline day, initially struggled to break into Julen Lopetegui’s starting lineup. However, since November’s international break, the Spain international has become an integral part of the Hammers’ midfield, impressing with his performances and commitment to the club.
A €20m Purchase Option
As part of Soler’s loan agreement, West Ham have included a purchase option of €20m, which they are reportedly eager to exercise in the coming weeks. This development is a testament to Soler’s growing influence at the London Stadium and Lopetegui’s desire to retain his services beyond the current season.
Soler’s Commitment Delights West Ham
Soler’s commitment to West Ham has left the club delighted, with the midfielder having settled in well in the English capital. In a recent interview, Soler expressed his enjoyment of life in London, hinting at a longer stay at West Ham. This statement will undoubtedly please the Hammers as they seek to retain his services.
PSG’s Stance on Soler’s Future
Paris Saint-Germain, Soler’s parent club, may not oppose selling the midfielder to West Ham. With Soler’s contract at PSG set to expire in 2027, the Ligue 1 champions may be willing to sanction a permanent transfer to West Ham, particularly if the Premier League side meets the agreed-upon purchase option.
Key Statistics:
- Soler’s appearances for West Ham: 14
- Soler’s goals scored for West Ham: 2
- Soler’s assists for West Ham: 3
- Soler’s purchase option: €20m
- Soler’s contract expiration date at PSG: 2027
As the January transfer window approaches, West Ham’s decision to exercise their purchase option and secure Soler’s services on a permanent basis will be closely monitored. With the midfielder’s commitment and performances having impressed Lopetegui and the West Ham hierarchy, a permanent transfer to the London Stadium appears increasingly likely.
