A section of West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to express their disbelief that the club are willing to sell midfielder Domingos Quina for £600,000.
The likes of Barcelona, Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen are interested in signing the 18-year-old central enforcer according to Sky Sports, and the Hammers are happy to offload the youngster to Europe.
Boss Manuel Pellegrini has made a surge of signings at the London Stadium, and has deemed Quina surplus to requirements.
Barcelona have enquired about West Ham wonderkid Domingos Quina, who could be available for around £600,000.

How does this even make sense? If its true about Barca been interested what are they seen that West Ham don't!!

Keep him, he's obviously good if teams like Barcelona are interested in him, give him a loan to maybe the Championship where he can have regular first team football and develop as a player…

How can we want 10mil for Oxford and pittance for Quina? Makes no sense. Whoever gets him, it'll be a steal

OPINION
It seems like the potential sale of Domingos Quina has not gone down well with a section of the West Ham faithful. They have recognised that if a major club like Barcelona are wanting to take him on, they they must be seeing something in him that the club do not. It is a shame that they have to sell him, but it is obviously due to the number of signings that Pellegrini has already made, as room will have needed to be made. If Quina does join Barcelona, then he definitely has a bright future in front of him for sure – and the Hammers may regret offloading him in a few years’ time if he does end up being a star performer for whatever club he ends up at.
