# West Ham United: Hammers buzz as Caleta-Car claim emerges

**According to an update from French news outlet[Foot Mercato](https://www.footmercato.net/a1249122568801066054-om-ou-en-est-le-degraissage-xxl), Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car interests West Ham United with the ‘media talking about’ an upcoming offer of [€15 million (£12.8m).](https://www.footmercato.net/a1249122568801066054-om-ou-en-est-le-degraissage-xxl)**

Caleta-Car also attracted West Ham last summer, but he rejected the chance to sign at the London Stadium when manager David Moyes was on a centre-back hunt ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/oct/03/marseille-defender-duje-caleta-car-west-ham-david-moyes-premier-league)).

Now, reports have resurfaced of the Irons potentially eyeing a move for the Croatian who is currently at Euro 2020.
