While virtually all rivals were strengthening for the upcoming season, West Ham were focused on negotiations with Arsenal over Declan Rice, trying to extract as much money as possible. And when they definitely sold the captain, they threw themselves into spending the money earned.The Hammers agreed on the first reinforcement of the summer transfer window this Thursday. And a very, very interesting one. The English media write that the London club reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City regarding the purchase of Carlos Borges (19) for around 16,000,000 euros.##NAJAVA_MECA_7381917##We are talking about a winger who in previous years in the younger categories delighted the football public with his plays, but also with his numbers.

It is far from the fact that the Manchester club does not believe in him, which is confirmed by the information that they managed to insert a return clause in the agreement with West Ham, in case Borges demonstrates in London that he has the right stuff for the Premier League.Even so, City will make a lot of money from him. They brought him as a ten-year-old from Sporting Lisbon and made a serious profit from him. And Borges is just one of a number of players whose sales fill the Cityzens’ account. In the past few days alone, they earned 60,000,000 euros from the sale of players from the young team, and they are still waiting for Burnley to make official the purchase of James Trafford, from whom the champion of England will earn another twenty million euros…
