El Diouf set to join Brentford for €47m
Brentford have reached a verbal agreement with West Ham for midfielder El Diouf, with a reported €47m fee and Onside estimating a €24m valuation.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Brentford have reached a verbal agreement in principle to sign West Ham midfielder El Diouf. The deal is said to involve a €47m fee, structured as a €35m fixed amount plus add‑ons. Documents have not yet been signed and the transfer remains subject to completion.
Onside’s model values Diouf at €24m, indicating the reported fee exceeds the platform’s valuation. The model reads the move as an overpay relative to its estimated value, with a confidence level of 95% that the reported terms are accurate.
The story is being tracked by a single outlet, with one source currently following the development. Should the agreement be finalised, Diouf would move from West Ham to Brentford, joining a project that has attracted his interest according to the reporting.
