Clubs told they must pay ₦267 billion to sign Ghanaian Premier League star

West Ham United have reportedly slapped a staggering £125 million (₦267 billion) release clause on Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus for any Saudi Arabian suitors this summer.

However, that figure could be significantly lower for Premier League rivals, who might be able to prise him away for closer to £85 million; still a hefty sum, but far more realistic.

While West Ham are officially quoting £125 million for Saudi clubs such as Al-Nassr, insiders have confirmed that an £85 million bid from Premier League sides would likely trigger serious negotiations.

Kudus remains one of West Ham’s most sellable assets, and with the club needing to offload players before making new signings, the Ghanaian international could be sacrificed.

Despite Kudus not matching the electric form from his debut season since joining from Ajax for £38 million, his potential and skillset continue to attract top-level interest.

After scoring 14 goals in his debut season with the Hammers, Kudus has only scored four goals in all competitions this campaign.

Manager Graham Potter is determined to overhaul a squad that currently ranks among the oldest in the league.

With West Ham languishing in 17th place, which is safe from relegation but far from comfortable, Potter has brought in recruitment specialist Kyle Macaulay to usher in a new direction.

While the Hammers are reluctant to part with key man Jarrod Bowen, Kudus may be the big name to make way.

After scoring his first goal of 2025 in a 3-2 loss to Brighton, Kudus may be ready for a new chapter, and the only question is who will pay the price.
