In response to rumors that Konstantinos Mavropanos might be sold this summer, a senior West Ham spokesman spoke.
Although it took him some time to become a regular in the team, Constantinos Mavropanos is showing West Ham that it was worth the wait.
Following a few mistakes that marred his early, promising performances, the towering Greek defender has finally begun to settle into the Premier League.
Mavropanos performed admirably once more in West Ham’s draw with Spurs.
Greek tower of strength connected to West Ham moves away
The 26-year-old, who stands 6 feet 4 inches tall, is brave, strong, and an aggressive tackler who possesses all the qualities of a top-tier center back in the Premier League.
His replacement is Nayef Aguerd, who is devoid of those qualities.
Mavropanos is starting to show that he has what it takes to become a cult hero for the Hammers, following in the footsteps of players like Craig Dawson and James Collins.
Fans were therefore horrified to learn yesterday that there were new rumors that he might travel to Italy this summer.
A report from Gazzetta dello Sport (March 22, print edition, page 8) states that this summer, West Ham star Mavropanos is what Inter Milan, the Serie A winners, want.
It’s concerning that after just one season with West Ham, there have been a number of recurring rumors linking the former Stuttgart player to a move to Italy.
After failing to sign him last summer, Napoli is reportedly also considering the large Greek center-back, according to a report from Corriere dello Sport .
Positive news about Mavropanos from a reputable Hammers source
For about £17 million, West Ham won the race to sign Mavropanos, who at the time gave Hammers News exclusive confirmation of his transfer.
However, the Hammers hierarchy has some positive news for you today.
Due to the fact that West Ham maintains Mavropanos is not for sale despite rumors of a surprise transfer to Italy.
We discussed the rumors with the top source inside the club after becoming concerned about the ongoing links.
Furthermore, the main Hammers spokesperson ruled out a transfer.
“Not available for purchase”
According to the insider, the Greek international is not up for grabs and would only be allowed to depart if, similar to other players, an incredible, game-changing offer came in.
The kind of offer Italian clubs in financial distress can no longer afford.
The top West Ham source told Hammers News, “Mavropanos is not for sale unless an absolutely extraordinary offer comes in which Italian clubs can’t afford.”
That’s it, West Ham supporters. You can relax knowing that the team is committed to keeping their new star.
Tim Steidten, the technical director, is likely going to be looking to sign a new partner this summer.
The Hammers will need to sign two new center backs because Thilo Kehrer is expected to make a permanent move to Monaco, Nayef Aguerd is expected to be sold, and Angelo Ogbonna is probably in his last season.
