Overview
- Multiple outlets report agreements to sign Gil Vicente’s Pablo and Lazio’s Valentín ‘Taty’ Castellanos, with a combined outlay reported up to about £47m.
- Pablo is undergoing medical checks in London after a fee of around £18.3m plus £2.6m in add‑ons was agreed, with recent muscular issues not expected to affect completion.
- Castellanos’ switch is reported agreed at roughly €29–30m, with the Argentine preparing to travel for medicals after clearing his locker at Lazio.
- West Ham are moving on exits to help fund the window, including Luis Guilherme’s sale to Sporting CP for roughly €20m and Niclas Füllkrug joining AC Milan on a six‑month loan.
- The recruitment push follows a step back from higher‑priced targets and comes with the club 18th in the Premier League and short of senior centre‑forward options.
