West Brom FC transfer news: Sporting Lisbon 'open to selling William Carvalho for £30million'

West Brom have received a boost in their pursuit of Portuguese star William Carvalho with Sporting Lisbon now open to selling him.

The Baggies reportedly had a bid worth just over £25m turned down by Sporting as they attempted to land the midfielder last summer.

The Midlands club were not willing to meet his £38.25m release clause so the 25-year-old stayed put in Portugal's capital.

However, according to A Bola, Sporting want to balance their books this summer and could be ready to sell one of their star players to do so.
