As the 34-year-old nears the end of his contract, which expires next summer, discussions about his future have gathered pace.
West Ham striker Michail Antonio offered to Galatasaray
According to the Turkish departure calendarAntonio’s representatives have proposed a possible move to Galatasaray. According to reports, the club’s manager, Okan Buruk, is evaluating options to strengthen his attacking line-up in the upcoming transfer window.
Despite the offer, Buruk is said to be cautious about fitting Antonio into his squad, especially for the January transfer window. Concerns about whether the experienced forward aligns with the team’s immediate goals have led to some hesitation.
Antonio continues to play a role at West Ham this season but, with just one goal and one assist in 11 Premier League appearances, it has been reported that the manager wants to get rid of him.
Since joining Nottingham Forest in 2015, Antonio has been a key part of the club’s history. His versatility, determination and ability to deliver crucial moments have defined his stage of almost a decade. He holds the distinction of being West Ham’s all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 68 goals.
West Ham are looking to strengthen their attack in January
While Galatasaray’s interest underlines Antonio’s enduring value, any potential exit would mark the end of an era.
In addition, summer card Niclas Fullkrug has also been a failure with reports suggesting the club are already considering selling the German.
With the January transfer window just around the corner, there is a strong possibility that Fullkrug will be replaced by a number of linked names. Among those that are considered an option are The Brazilian striker of Corinthians, Yuri Albertoaccording to recent reports.
For now, West Ham are determined to make the most of their contributions as they look for stability and momentum under Lopetegui.
