West Ham United have had their audacious £25million bid for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes rejected after the player made clear he didn't want to join David Moyes' side.
The Portuguese club are reportedly demanding a minimum of £42million for the talented 23-year-old, and while the player is keen for a Premier League move, he doesn't see his future at the London Stadium.
Nunes does have a £51million release clause in his contract but no club currently looks likely of meeting that valuation for the player.
The Brazilian talent also turned down Wolves' approach, while Liverpool decided to not make a move for the midfielder despite their current injury crisis in midfield.
