This is because Saudi club Al Ettifaq are not willing to pay a transfer fee for the 33-year-old Hammers forward.
It was recently claimed that Antonio was expected to leave West Ham this summer. However, that appears not to be the case any more.
That’s a big concern in my opinion, as the ex-Nottingham Forest man is definitely not the same player as he once was, and David Moyes should be looking to make a big upgrade on him this summer.
The experienced attacker may well be set to stay with the club for at least one more season though…
Big Michail Antonio twist as West Ham reporter very close to David Sullivan makes fresh claim
Claret and Hugh reckon that the 33-year-old could now stay at the London Stadium this summer.
Antonio has been great for us over the past eight years, but we really should be trying to move him on now in my opinion.
Antonio earns £100k-a-week at West Ham. That makes him the fifth highest earner at the London Stadium, behind only Lucas Paqueta, Danny Ings, Alphonse Areola and Kurt Zouma.
Getting those wages off the books should be one of Moyes’s main priorities this summer.
However, it seems as though Michail Antonio is set to remain as a West Ham United player for some time still to come.
We must be the only club int he world struggling to get a fee from a Saudi Arabian side for one of our players!
