A report claims that Barcelona will make a £50m offer for West Ham United attacker Dimitri Payet at the end of the season.

Barcelona are reportedly preparing a £50m bid for West Ham United attacker Dimitri Payet.

The Frenchman joined West Ham from Marseille last summer and has netted 12 goals in all competitions for the Hammers this term.

The 29-year-old agreed a new five-and-a-half-year contract with his Premier League club in February, but according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will test West Ham's resolve with a significant offer at the end of the season.

Payet, who has also represented Nantes, Saint-Etienne and Lille, is widely expected to be named in the France squad for the European Championships this summer.

Any move for the West Ham attacker would cast doubt over the future of Neymar, who is yet to sign a new deal with the Catalan outfit.
