West Ham Ready To Sell This Defender For €30m: Why Should They Hold On To That Price?

Mavropanos has been a regular this term, starting 25 Premier League games and chipping in with three goals, all of which came at home. Statistically, he’s performing well for a defender; his non-penalty expected goals (xG) per 90 minutes puts him in the top 60% of the league. On the defensive side, he’s averaging about 1.5 tackles and over 7 clearances every game. Still, West Ham have conceded 31 goals while he’s been on the pitch, averaging a goal against every 64 minutes, which might give scouts a bit of pause regarding his consistency at the back.

West Ham held their ground last summer when no one met their price, and they should do the same now. Even if Transfermarkt suggests a lower fee, sticking to that €30m valuation makes sense. He’s a goal threat in the air and already knows the Bundesliga inside out, making him a perfect fit for German suitors. With the club looking to rebuild under Nuno, they need every penny they can get, and selling him on the cheap would just be a poor piece of business.
