Santiago Bueno Transfer

Started Last Movement

West Ham’s relegation has removed the Premier League route described in the Santiago Bueno reports.

The Mirror said the Wolves defender wanted to stay in the top flight and that going down would rule West Ham out. No contact, talks or bid from the Hammers was reported.

No-Guff Summary

  • The condition has failed: The Mirror said Bueno wanted Premier League football and that relegation would rule West Ham out. West Ham have since gone down.
  • No West Ham move was reported: The earlier link named the Hammers alongside Crystal Palace and Brentford, without contact, talks or a bid.

West Ham named among Bueno suitors

West Ham have been named among the clubs pursuing Wolves centre-back Santiago Bueno, although this remains an early transfer link rather than a deal taking shape.

The Mirror, citing Sport Witness, says Crystal Palace and Brentford are also interested in the 27-year-old. The available account does not report contact, talks or a bid from West Ham.

Bueno is said to want to remain in the Premier League and to be valued at approximately £13 million. The same report says relegation would rule West Ham out. For now, the Hammers are one reported suitor, with no further step supplied.
