Napoli are now reportedly the favorites to secure Carlos Soler from Paris Saint-Germain, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

As Soler returns from a season-long loan at West Ham United, where he struggled to make his mark, the Hammers decided against a permanent deal.

Soler’s West Ham Stint Falls Short

For those following West Ham, Soler’s performance was disappointing after much anticipation about his potential contribution.

During his 31 appearances, he managed one goal, with expectations peaking during his eight consecutive starts between November and December.

However, the managerial change from Julen Lopetegui to Graham Potter led to diminished playing time, prompting the decision for his return to PSG.

This inconsistency ultimately discouraged West Ham from pursuing a permanent transfer.

Napoli’s Strategic Move

Under Antonio Conte’s guidance, Napoli sees Soler’s versatility as a valuable asset to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming Serie A season.

The Italian champions are keen on pushing their squad to new heights, with the pursuit of players like Kevin De Bruyne indicating serious ambitions both domestically and in Europe.

Soler, with experience in La Liga, Ligue 1, and the Premier League, is poised to add another dimension to Napoli’s aspirations.

Future Prospects for West Ham

Turning the page from Soler, West Ham United are actively exploring new prospects in the transfer market.

The club has shown interest in Yann Bisseck from Inter Milan, signaling an intent to reshape their squad dynamics.

As the transfer window heats up, West Ham remains vigilant, targeting signings that better align with their strategic vision.

Supporters will be keenly watching for updates as to how the club navigates departures and new additions.
