West Ham United have left Brazilian defender Luizao out of their 25-man Premier League squad list, indicating a lack of immediate future involvement despite his previous potential.
Luizao joined the Hammers in January 2023 and has been impressive with the U21 side, but interest from clubs has been thwarted by West Ham's high asking price.
The decision to keep Luizao off the Premier League squad opens discussions about West Ham's strategy, as they balance the cost of a player they don't plan to use.
Despite Luizao's absence from the senior squad, West Ham's management is reluctant to lower their 4 million fee, creating a challenging situation for both parties.
