“Am tired here and I will never close the door of return” Former Valencia man threaten the Hammers on Possible return back to La liga due to MAJOR internal conflict .
Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler made a loan move from Paris Saint-Germain to West Ham United at the end of August, as the club wrapped up a busy transfer window under new manager Julen Lopetegui.
Soler has had a quiet start to his time in England, with five substitute appearances in the Premier League and one start, a 5-1 loss to Liverpool in the EFL Cup. However, with his experience as a 14-time Spain international and a title winner with PSG, Soler is expected to get more opportunities soon.
For now, Soler is focused on breaking into Lopetegui’s starting lineup and isn’t looking too far ahead. He told Marca (via Sport Witness), “We haven’t discussed long-term goals. It’s a new and long-term project, but football is all about focusing on the present, getting results, and performing well. We have a lot of new players, a new coach, and a new philosophy. Few clubs get everything right immediately.
“As for me, I’m here for a year and I don’t know what will happen after the season. But I was drawn to the challenge of fighting for a spot in the starting eleven, and West Ham was the best option.”
Soler, a product of Valencia’s youth system, has fond memories of his time at the club, where he scored 36 goals and provided 31 assists in 226 appearances, helping them win the 2018/19 Copa del Rey before moving to PSG in 2022. Although he has two years left on his PSG contract, and West Ham may have a future interest in signing him permanently, Soler isn’t ruling out a return to Valencia.
“I’ll never close the door because I consider myself a Valencian and a Valencia fan. I love the club and often spend my days off there,” Soler said. “You never know what might happen in football, but I’d love to return one day. For now, I’m focused on West Ham, and after that, I still have a contract with PSG.”
