Konstantinos Mavropanos Transfer

Started Last Movement

Will Konstantinos Mavropanos sign a new West Ham contract? West Ham are reportedly in talks with the defender after an earlier claim that they offered him a two-year extension, but no agreement or signature has been reported.

The proposed terms were said to include a release clause if West Ham miss promotion in 2026/27 and a bonus if they go up, while a possible Bayer Leverkusen move remains no more than a reported alternative.

Newcastle linked with £26m Mavropanos move

Give Me Sport says a fee of about £26m has been mentioned. CaughtOffside, citing Sports Boom, says Newcastle are preparing a move and West Ham are willing to sell. Claret & Hugh cites an unnamed transfer source saying the opposite: West Ham want Mavropanos to stay while the defender wants to leave. It also mentions interest from the Bundesliga.
