Tomáš Souček, Vladimír Coufal, Alex Král and Antonín Barák? The Czech colony at West Ham could be expanded by another footballer in January. According to the latest information, the Kladivar management is ready to negotiate. How much could Barák leave Hellas Verona for?

The earliest he will visit Verona is September 2020, when he was sent to Hellas by Udinese management on a loan deal. However, the guest appearance turned into a transfer about ten months later, with the Verona outfit sending €6 million to the northern Italian club.

However, the current market value of the Czech Republic international is higher. It amounts specifically to 14 million euros. However, if West Ham really want to acquire him, they must prepare at least seventeen million euros.

This is the initial offer from Hellas, obviously due to the interest of several other clubs. Yes, another English club – Newcastle United – is also interested in the 27-year-old midfielder. Hellas management admits that if the offer for this player is reasonable, Barak could leave the team in the January transfer window.

However, there are two other clubs on the radar that are interested in the services of the Pribram native. Earlier, AC Milan were already looking for Barak, now one of their biggest rivals – Inter – has joined the Rossoneri.

Based on current speculations, Barák is reportedly attracted by the cooperation with his colleagues from the national team, namely Soucek, Coufal and Kral. David Moyes, although he would have welcomed Barak in the team back in January, has let it be known that Jesse Lingard is the main transfer acquisition for West Ham.

He has really come on leaps and bounds in London, scoring nine goals and assisting five more in 16 games. However, the 28-year-old Warrington native would cost the Hammers a lot of money, so Moyes would have to wait until the summer for Barak. At least that’s what the West Ham Zone reports.

So the option of signing a deal for a future transfer is on offer. However, it is likely that if AC or Inter Milan offer some satisfactory amount of money, the Hellas management will not delay his transfer.

Barak has played 52 games for Hellas Verona so far, in which he has scored twelve goals and added seven assists on top of that.
