West Ham United face a fight for survival on the final day of the Premier League season, with Taty Castellanos seemingly all but certain to leave if the club do end up getting relegated.

The Hammers still mathematically have a slim chance of staying up, but they’re relying on winning at home to a very decent Leeds United side, whilst also requiring a slip-up from Tottenham, who play Everton.

Castellanos only joined West Ham from Lazio in January, and he’s made a decent impact with five Premier League goals in 17 appearances so far.

However, reports in Italy suggest his stay will be a short one, with the 27-year-old having no intention of staying with the club if they’re in the Championship next season.

Taty Castellanos surely heading for West Ham exit

“#WestHam is now practically one step away from relegation to #Championship, with mathematical certainty potentially arriving as early as Tuesday, in the event of a draw by #Tottenham,” Italian journalist Marco Mampreso posted earlier this week to his X account.

“Many big names ready to bid farewell (at bargain prices) to the #Hammers: #Castellanos, who arrived in the January transfer window, is set to part ways with #London after just 6 months. #Flamengo, already interested in the player during the previous winter session, could make a move in the summer and bring to #Brazil a certainly intriguing forward like the Argentine. No negotiations underway yet, but the striker’s intention is clear: he will not play in #SerieB.”
