Lingard has ended his contract with Manchester United . He himself very much hopes to go to West Ham United , where he once played for his high value. The Hammers naturally know Lingard's strength. After all, he has been on loan in the team. After playing for half a season, he performed as a super midfielder in Premier League . However, Lingard demanded a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, which made West Ham United very embarrassed. They did not want to destroy the team's salary structure. The two sides have not reached an agreement because of this matter.
In the 2020-2021 season, Lingard was loaned to West Ham United. He played very well and was extremely efficient here. He scored 9 goals and assisted 4 times in 16 games, helping West Ham United win the European qualification. So after the loan ended, the Hammers wanted to buy out Lingard. However, Manchester United wanted Lingard to return to the team to increase their midfield strength, so they did not agree to the deal. As a result, Lingard was still not reused after returning to Manchester United. His own mentality also had problems, so Lingard was unhappy last season and he did not even get a chance to say goodbye to the home fans. And Manchester United let Lingard go for nothing and also lost some transfer fees. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to sell Lingard for 15-20 million euros based on his strength.
Teams have contacted Lingard during the offseason. When the league is about to end, Newcastle, the upstart Premier League, hopes to introduce Lingard to supplement the strength of the midfield. However, Lingard’s asking price is a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds + 10 million pounds. Signing fee. Although Newcastle was sponsored by local tycoons, they were very cautious in their signings and would not pay players too high a salary, not to mention a signing fee of 10 million pounds, so the two parties did not continue to communicate and exchange.
In contrast, West Ham United is very sincere, because Lingard has achieved success here, and at this time Lingard also realized that even if he did not have a contract, it would be impossible to get a huge signing fee. So he directly asked for a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds. However, in West Ham United, the player with the highest weekly salary is central defender Zouma. His weekly salary is 120,000 pounds. It is worth noting that West Ham United was prepared to give Lingard 120,000 pounds when it quoted Lingard last season. With a weekly salary in pounds, it can be seen that the team wants to give Lin the highest salary, but the weekly salary of 150,000 pounds he requested exceeds the team's expectations and will cause problems with the team's salary structure.
In fact, West Ham United are not in a hurry about Lingard's request. They are working hard to communicate with Lingard's team. To put it bluntly, the team also knows that there are not many teams that can give Lingard a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, and they have come to the Ironside. The Hammers have also been of great help to Lingard's development. Because the team's coach Moyes is Lin's former mentor, he knows how to use Lingard, and the team will give him the core position in the team, so if Lin joins other teams, he may not be able to enjoy such core treatment. Now it's time for Lingard's team to face a choice. After all, few teams will give players super high weekly salaries after leaving Manchester United.
