With Michael Zetterer (30) from SV Werder Bremen and Exequiel Palacios (26) from Bayer 04 Leverkusen, two players of German clubs are apparently the focus of the Hammers this summer. This is reported by the German version of “Sky” in the event of the keeper and the English at the midfielder.

The London club made a new offer for Zetterer. The last one was below the Bremen pain limit of 5 million euros. The 30-year-old, who was most recently traded in Copenhagen and is still bound in Bremen until 2027, is fundamentally for sale. The background is that in Bremen you have great confidence in the talented Mio Backhaus (21). He continues to wait for the professional debut for his youth club, but convinced in 2023/24 during his loan to FC Volendam in the Eredivisie.
Zetterer should be the alternative to Brazilian John Victor for West Ham. According to Fabrizio Romano, the 29-year-old from Botafogo de Janeiro already agreed and this is no longer far away with his club. John Victor is said to cost a total of around 10 million euros. In the past two years, French international Alphonse Arenola (32) had guarded the Hammers goal. In 2024/25, this in the meantime also sat on the bench for several weeks.
Does Bayer Leverkusen also sell Palacios?
At Palacios, after the many departures of well -known players, it should be possible to wait and see whether Bayer would agree to a sale at all. In May, the “picture” of a pain threshold of 70 million euros had reported for the Argentine world champion. That would be the third -tax transfer in the history of the club. In June, sports director Simon Rolfes Palacios also referred to the Bavarian “Fundaments”, with which a firm plan was planned for the coming season.
Again four weeks later, the eighth request was reported, with Atlético Madrid in particular being traded. With Johnny Cardoso (23) and Thiago Almada (24), the Colchoneros have since signed two midfielder. West Ham has never spent more than 50 million euros on one player. The record access has been the then Frankfurter and today’s Dortmund Sébastien Haller (31), for which EUR 50 million flowed to Eintracht.
