Nikola Vlasic is reportedly pushing to leave West Ham United on a permanent deal in the January transfer window.
That’s according to Tuttosport who claim that the Italian side have an option to buy the 25-year-old for €15 million (£13 million) in the summer of 2023.
Vlasic joined Torino on a season-long loan in the summer. He has been a big success in Italy, with four goals and three assists to his name in 16 games so far (Transfermarkt).
Urbano Cairo is allegedly trying to get a discount on the £13 million option that Torino have to sign the Croatian World Cup star (Tuttosport).
West Ham are unlikely to budge on that price though. What is for sure is that Vlasic himself wants to leave the London Stadium and David Moyes behind…
Nikola Vlasic is pushing to leave West Ham
The 25-year-old attacking play-maker is keen to move Turin on a permanent basis, and he wants it all done and dusted in January rather than the summer of 2023 according to Tuttosport.
I don’t blame him in all fairness.
Unfortunately for him and West Ham, David Moyes never managed to get the best out of him at the London Stadium.
Moyes and Nikola Vlasic were far from a match made in heaven.
The Scot should have used Vlasic in his natural number 10 position but instead, he exclusively used him as a left or right winger.
That never gave the former CSKA Moscow ace the chance to prove his true worth. As a result, he was shipped out of the London Stadium and deemed to be a huge flop.
However, that now seems like a big mistake from Moyes and the club.
And with Nikola Vlasic allegedly pushing to leave West Ham, it won’t be too long before he officially leaves the London Stadium in my opinion.
