More information has come to light following our post yesterday on the details of several squad members who may be on their way out of London Stadium this summer.
Konstantinos Mavropanos is likely to be on the ‘For Sale’ list, as the Greek international has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter since joining West Ham United from VfB Stuttgart last year. Even though he was a Tim Steidten recruit (under Moyes) it seems he’s falling to the bottom of the pecking order and is ripe for an upgrade.
Sean Whetstone has stated via his West Ham Football X account that The Hammers are reportedly open to selling him this summer, as the club looks to streamline its squad and generate transfer funds.
With the arrival of Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo, competition for places in the centre of defence has intensified and ‘Mav’s’ future could well lie away from London Stadium.
The club is believed to be seeking around £13.6 million for Mavropanos, who still has four years remaining on his contract. While the defender has shown glimpses of potential, his inconsistent performances and the emergence of other options have made him on the ‘possibly surplus to requirements’ list.
As West Ham continue to reshape their squad under the guidance of manager Julen Lopetegui, the sale of Mavropanos could provide the club with additional funds to invest or offset under PSR, and perhaps just as importantly free up a centre-back ‘slot’ for any further incoming player.
