According to the latest from Calciomercato.com, Scamacca has returned to London after his holidays and he is getting ready to begin his preseason preparations with West Ham, but hoping to join Roma as soon as possible.
The two clubs continue to negotiate, with Roma wanting a paid loan with an option to buy while the London club are aiming to make it an obligation to buy.
The fact that West Ham will receive over €100m for Declan Rice might soften their stance on Scamacca a bit, even if they did pay nearly €40m to sign him from Sassuolo last summer.
The striker has held off on any other negotiations – even Milan had come forward as per the report – because he wants to return to the Italian capital where his mother lives, with whom he is very close as well as with all the rest of the family.
He hoped to do so with Davide Frattesi, as the duo dreamed of returning to play together in the city that saw them grow. However, the midfielder chose Inter.
