Reports state that Julen Lopetegui, a target for West Ham United, has identified “four” desired additions for his “return” to the Premier League. Since departing Wolves during the summer transfer window of the previous year, Lopetegui has been unemployed.
The former manager of Real Madrid and Spain was a candidate for Manager of the Year after saving Wolves from Premier League relegation. After disagreeing with Wolves’ management on recruitment, the Spaniard left the team in the summer. He has since been connected to Crystal Palace and Manchester United. Since Erik ten Hag has had less pressure in recent weeks and has apparently rejected Crystal Palace for a “ambitious project,” a move to Manchester United seems unlikely at this point.
A transfer to West Ham has also been suggested for Lopetegui, as David Moyes comes under growing pressure. They were defeated 2-0 on Saturday by Nottingham Forest, who have failed to win this season. According to a report published earlier this week in The Telegraph by Matt Law, Lopetegui “appeals” to West Ham. He continued.
Journalist Alan Nixon disclosed on his Patreon page that Lopetegui is interested in signing “Spanish-based players” and has a “four-man list. Through his Patreon, Nixon revealed that “Julen Lopetegui has a four-man list of Spanish-based players he wants to sign when he gets a Premier League job.”
The former Wolves manager is hoping to make a comeback, but he has been planning goals for when he receives the call. “Lopetegui left Wolves when he realised he wouldn’t have support in the market and won’t accept the next position until he is certain there will be money for his men who are wanted. West Ham is preparing backup plans in case they are forced to split ways with Moyes, according to a different report from Football Insider, and they want the “next Unai Emery.” They increase.
