Said Benrahma, a wide player for West Ham United, is currently in the process of moving to Saudi Arabia, so he may be moving in 2024.
In advance of a possible departure from West Ham United, David Moyes is said to have had discussions with Said Benrahma’s representatives.
As per The Sun, it is possible that Benrahma will relocate to Saudi Arabia in 2024.
Benrahma cost West Ham £30 million in 2020, which included a £5 million transfer fee for Ioan, £20 million for a long-term contract, and an additional £5 million for add-ons.
Benrahma was a magical player for Brentford in the Championship, but in the Premier League, he has been a bit hit or miss.
claimed that Benrahma might move from Saudi Arabia to West Ham United.
According to The Sun, Benrahma might depart in 2024 and his agent might now arrange for a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Benrahma reportedly signed a new representation deal with a representative who is “well-connected” to elite Saudi Arabian clubs. Following a recent in-person meeting between David Moyes and Benrahma’s new agent, a January transfer could be imminent.
According to the report, despite having a packed schedule this season because of Europa League action, West Ham might accept an offer for Benrahma in January.
Benrahma may have run out of time at West Ham.
At West Ham, Benrahma’s starts have been progressively dwindling.
2021–2022 saw 26 league starts; 22 in the previous season and just four thus far this one.
Despite recording two assists during his 16 games across all competitions this season, the 28-year-old has not yet found the back of the net.
Benrahma’s importance under Moyes is obviously diminished, as Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus receive more attention.
Although West Ham isn’t under any pressure to sell, they might decide that the time is right given that Benrahma’s contract expires in 2026.
Benrahma’s sale would free up money for Moyes to spend elsewhere, which might be essential given the need for another striker.
Given West Ham’s busy schedule, Moyes will need to consider the depth of his squad, but in January, selling Benrahma will be a very tempting option.
