Some Hammers fans have taken to Twitter in reaction to that claim.
Fabian Balbuena has been released by West Ham.
So the addition of a top-class new central defender before the start of next season will undoubtedly be one of the top priorities for David Moyes.
One of the names to have continually been linked with a move to the London Stadium over the past year or so is Nikola Milenkovic (Calcio Mercato and Juve Live).
The towering Serbian has just one year remaining on his current deal with Fiorentina.
His price-tag was originally thought to be in the region of £20 million. At the time, that actually seemed like decent business for the East London outfit.
Calcio Mercato reckon that £13 million could now be enough to secure the Fiorentina ace’s services, however.
And if that is true, West Ham really shouldn’t think twice about signing him.
That’s in spite of the fact that the report claims Milenkovic would prefer to join Juventus.
