West Ham must pay Maxi Gomez release clause amid Marko Arnautovic transfer uncertaintyCelta Vigo won't sell their striker unless the clause is triggered, which would make Gomez a record signing
West Ham will have to meet Maxi Gomez’s £43.3m release clause to buy the Celta Vigo striker. The Uruguayan is on West Ham ’s shortlist as they consider whether to buy a striker in the January transfer window. It is a big price but Celta will not sell unless the clause is triggered and West Ham are now considering whether to press ahead. If the deal goes ahead it would set a new club transfer record, beating the £36m they paid Lazio for Brazilian Felipe Anderson last summer.
It comes amid continued uncertainty over Marko Arnautovic's future.
Shanghai SIPG have failed to increase their £35m offer for Arnautovic, who has made it clear he wants to leave London Stadium.
Arnautovic was left out of the Hammers' defeat at Bournemouth last weekend after manager Manuel Pellegrini did not feel he was in the right frame of mind.
Arnautovic has returned to training but is not expected to be involved in Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at AFC Wimbledon.
