Corinthians officially announced the agreement to sell Balbuena. Now the defender from the transfer is separated only by a physical.

"The club's management thanked Balbuena for his services and wishes good luck in his new trip," says Corinthians.

Balbuena played 136 games for the Brazilian club for three years in it, scoring 11 goals in them. Together with the team, he became the Brazilian champion in 2017.

West Ham in the summer has already signed three newcomers with the new coach Manuel Pellegrini - Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop and Lukas Fabianski.

Also, "hammers" are negotiating the transfer of Andrei Yarmolenko and Bruno Fernandes.
