When the transfer window comes, one tends to think that the scouting sector, along with the sporting director and the coach are identifying their transfer targets and agree on potential players they want to buy. But it seems they are not doing so in West Ham, at least it looks like that in reality. One of their ‘hottest’ (and most expensive) signings last summer could be on his way back to native Italy because they realized he ‘doesn’t suit their style of play’. Milan and Roma battle for Scamacca 🇮🇹⚔️Roma are targeting him as a replacement for Abraham, while Milan have inquired about the player a while ago.Roma are currently considered the primary destination. 📰 via Di Marzio pic.twitter.com/CECU6o4ilX— Italian Football TV (@IFTVofficial) June 10, 2023 Conference League champions will look for suitors for occasional Italy international Gianluca Scamacca, who just came last season from Sassuolo in a 40 million euros deal. The reason for this lies in striker Michail Antonio’s statement:“He’s actually quality. He is a quality player. The problem is, he can’t play the way Moyes plays. He needs a different type of manager to play his type of football. He needs a manager where he can play and have other players come off him and stuff like that. You can see, the ball comes into him and it sticks, he’s tidy. But how David Moyes plays is more like if you’re up front, you’re dealing with scraps and you’ve got to be more of a fighter, and that’s not him” said West Ham striker on the Filthy Fellas YouTube channel. ‘Mourinho 2026’ project is in the works, Roma wants to keep him long-termAnd after reading the statement from a guy who has been around the club for many years tells you all you need to know about Scamacca’s future with the Hammers, especially now, when Moyes is about to stay after winning and UEFA competition. And this discoordination between Moyes and sporting sector will result in a probable sale of the Italian, but ‘the Special One’ will try to get the deal done in his way. Jose Mourinho will remain as Roma coach and even thou he will get a bigger budget, cut-price deals remain the prime transfer strategy for Gillarossi. Houssem Aouar came yesterday as a free agent from Lyon, Roma is negotiating with another fee player, Evan Ndicka from Frankfurt and getting Scamacca on loan (with an reasonable option to buy) would be a perfect start of the transfer window. Their current striker Tammy Abraham will be out for a while after suffering serious ACL knee injury. ACL agony for Tammy: Roma’s troubled hitman suffers long-term knee injuryAnother piece of good news for Mourinho is that Scamacca is from Rome, supports the club, and spent three years in the youth academy before heading to PSV where he made his senior breakthrough. But, there are clubs who can pay more for him, some even in cash, like Juventus or Milan, and West Ham will surely prioritize cash over loan, as they need to buy some players too. Needles to say, Scamacca got the call from Rome and he knows where he wants to go…##NAJAVA_MECA_7316657##
