The latest word stemming from the media points towards potential problems brewing between Premier League outfit West Ham United, and striker Gianluca Scamacca.
This comes with the two parties, seemingly, in possession of very different ideas when it comes to the summer transfer window.
Scamacca, of course, is fresh off something of a disappointing debut campaign in England.
Though he did manage a respectable haul of eight goals across all competitions in West Ham colours, just three came by way of the Premier League, across 16 appearances.
In turn, it has been suggested in the media that a parting of ways could be on the cards, just a year on from the Italian’s costly arrival in east London.
Scamacca, and the powers that be at West Ham, however, appear to have altogether different ideas when it comes to precisely how such a development could come about.
This comes with the capital giants keen to bring Scamacca back to Italy on loan.
The issue, however, is that the board at the London Stadium have absolutely no intention of granting the 24-year-old a temporary departure.
Instead, they are seeking out a permanent sale.
With Scamacca ready to ‘insist’ on a move to Roma, trouble, as a result, could well be on the horizon.
