West Ham will only sign Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic in the January transfer window if he is available for £10 million or less.

That’s according to a report from GiveMeSport who claim that Hammers boss David Moyes is keen to bring the 27-year-old Celtic ace to the London Stadium this winter, but only for a reasonable fee.

The Scot has been heavily linked with a move to sign the Croatia World Cup star already by the likes of 90 Min.

However, it has been claimed that Celtic could demand as much as £17 million for Juranovic this winter.

It seems as though West Ham aren’t prepared to pay anywhere near that amount for the Hoops ace, in spite of being in desperate need of a new right-back in January…

West Ham happy to pay up to £10 million for Celtic star in January window

GiveMeSport claim that whilst the Hammers want to sign Josip Juranovic, they are not prepared to pay more than £10 million for his signature.

Celtic are well within their rights to demand what they want for the Croatia international, of course they are. He is under contract at Parkhead up into the summer of 2026 after all.

At the same time though, I think West Ham are right not to pay anywhere near £17 million for Juranovic. He is a very good player, and he proved that during the World Cup out in Qatar.

However, somewhere around £10-12 million would represent a decent deal for the Hammers.

But as mentioned earlier, if Celtic are demanding more than that, he may well end up staying in Glasgow.

His performances for Croatia at the World Cup were truly sensational.

Juranovic has been a really solid performer for Celtic this season as well.

The 27-year-old has bagged one goal and one assist in eight Scottish Premiership games for Celtic so far this season (Who Scored).

During those outings, he has averaged 1.1 tackles, 0.7 interceptions and one clearance per game (Who Scored).

The Croatian is a very solid operator, and he has mightily impressive pace as well.

And if West Ham manage to sign Juranovic for £10 million or less in the January window, I believe that would be superb business for the club.
