West Ham United is set to receive a significant financial boost as Said Benrahma’s transfer to Lyon nears completion.
The French club is ready to activate the purchase clause for the pre-agreed fee of £12.3 million, following a period of financial constraints that had initially delayed the move.
With Lyon now cleared to proceed, this sale will provide West Ham with much-needed funds, bolstering their summer transfer budget. Additionally, the potential sale of Flynn Downes could further increase their budget, bringing the total to approximately £75 million.

Sky Sports’ transfer expert Dharmesh Sheth reports that the Benrahma deal is expected to be finalized this weekend. This development is crucial, as it will significantly enhance West Ham’s limited summer budget of £51.5 million, allowing the club to actively pursue new signings and reinforce their squad.
Despite this positive news, questions remain about why the initial budget for a substantial squad rebuild is relatively small.
Fans and analysts are eager to see how the club will leverage this financial injection to strengthen the team in preparation for the upcoming season.
With several potential signings on the horizon, West Ham’s transfer activities will be closely monitored in the weeks ahead.
