El Diouf set to join Brentford from West Ham for €47m in summer after verbal agreement

Fabrizio Romano reports that Brentford have reached a verbal agreement in principle to sign West Ham midfielder El Diouf. The deal is described as a €47m package, comprising a £35m fixed fee and add‑ons, with documents yet to be signed. The story is currently being followed by a single outlet.

Onside’s model values the player at €24m, indicating the reported fee exceeds the valuation. The platform’s fee‑vs‑value read therefore suggests an overpay relative to its estimate, while confidence in the reported terms is rated at 95%.

The move would see Diouf, who has expressed enthusiasm for the Brentford project, relocate to the club that recently secured promotion. The agreement remains subject to final documentation and medicals before it can be confirmed as a completed transfer.
