🚨Patrice Evra on West Ham’s reported £80m valuation of Matheus Fernandes and £50m price tag for Crysencio Summerville as Manchester United target both players this summer: 🗣️ “I’m sorry, but football has become crazy. West Ham get relegated and suddenly they’re asking for £80 million for Matheus Fernandes and £50 million for Crysencio Summerville? Come on. I like both players. I think they have talent. But let’s be serious for one second. These guys were part of the starting XI that got West Ham relegated. And now we’re talking about £130 million combined? That is outrageous. No disrespect to the players, but when you’re asking for that kind of money, I expect players who are taking teams into the Champions League, not players coming out of a relegation season. This is why the transfer market has become a circus. Every club wants superstar money for players who haven’t produced superstar results. If I’m Manchester United, I’m negotiating every penny. Because those numbers make absolutely no sense. For £80 million, I want a midfielder who dominates games every week. For £50 million, I want a winger who terrifies defenders every week. The reality is simple. West Ham have every right to ask for whatever price they want. But if they genuinely believe clubs should pay those fees for players from a relegated side, then they’re living in a different world. The players are talented. The valuations are ridiculous. And that’s the truth.” {@Daily_Sport }
