According to Romano, Sky Sports reports confirm that both Roma and AC Milan are also engaged in talks to secure the services of Naif Akrd from West Ham United.
West Ham United has expressed no inclination to part with Akrd either on loan or for an unsatisfactory financial agreement.
Consequently, the club awaits a substantial offer for his potential departure.
Naif Akrd, in response, conveyed his joy at being part of West Ham United in the English Premier League.
The Moroccan defender has evidently attracted attention from both domestic and international clubs, given his commendable performances.
While Saudi clubs are actively pursuing negotiations, Italian giants Roma and Milan are also keenly interested in acquiring Akrd’s talents for their respective squads.
The diplomatic approach taken by West Ham United suggests a commitment to securing a deal that aligns with their valuation of the player.
Akrd’s tenure with West Ham has been marked by his contributions to the team’s defensive prowess, making him a sought-after asset in the transfer market.
