Only a handful of hours remain until the summer transfer window closes, so West Ham United and Paris Saint-Germain are racing against time to ensure that the Carlos Soler transfer occurs.
A move away from PSG is ideal for Soler as he attempts to get back on the radar of Spain manager Luis de la Fuente ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the 2023-24 season, Soler made 26 appearances in all competitions for the French club, scoring once and contributing four assists.
Moreover, West Ham’s leadership wants Soler, and the feeling is mutual; all parties appear keen on this transfer. The latest information in this file comes from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who reports that Soler is eager to join West Ham.
Romano adds that technical director Tim Steidten and the Spanish manager Julen Lopetegui are actively pushing for the move. Discussions are ongoing, and West Ham is expected to make a strong push to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.

According to one report, West Ham’s plan is to sign Soler on a loan deal with a €25 million obligation to buy. While other options with lower wages have been considered to stay within budget, Steidten presents these alternatives. However, Lopetegui remains particularly interested in Soler.
