Sky Sports have reported that Serie A clubs Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are all interested in reported West Ham target Fernando Amorebieta. The long serving Athletico Bilbao left back's contratc is up at the end of the current season and he reportedly has no interest in negotiating a new deal and is set to leave the club at the end of the campaign. The 27 year old's representatives are understood to be in Italy at the moment talking to unnamed clubs about a possible Bosman summer move.
The Hammers were strongly linked with the Venezuelan international during January and may well renew their interest in him when the summer transfer window opens. If they do, however, they will face stiff competition for him, with Champions League sides Juventus and Milan and Europa League outfit Inter all now joining the Irons' Premier League rivals Arsenal; whose interest in the player we reported on February 19; and Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala in pursuit of Amorebieta.
With all this competition for the player; and with an alternative target in Wigan Athletic's versatile defender Maynor Figueroa reportedly lined up for a deal at the end of the season, a move for Amorebieta seems increasingly less likely for Irons chief Sam Allardyce.
