Absolute disgrace 😡💔: West Ham star brutally admits he would abandon the club instantly if they got relegated instead of staying to fight for promotion — fans are completely stunned by his shocking confession.

There is little chance of West Ham star turning out in the Championship next season, with the striker understood to have no interest in playing in England’s second tier.

The Argentine forward is expected to attract strong interest during the summer window and could be available for a surprisingly modest fee, putting a number of clubs across Europe on alert.

Despite speculation linking him with a move to England, sources close to the player insist Castellanos is only prepared to consider opportunities at the highest level.

After an impressive spell in Italy, where he showed his quality with a mixture of sharp movement, relentless work rate and clinical finishing, the 27-year-old has built a growing reputation as one of the more reliable forwards outside Europe’s elite clubs.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, particularly among sides searching for value in a difficult transfer market.

Several Premier League clubs are believed to have monitored the situation in recent months, though any team facing the prospect of Championship football is likely to be ruled out immediately.

With his current club open to negotiations, Castellanos could emerge as one of the more intriguing bargains of the summer. Interest is expected to intensify once the transfer window officially opens.
