West Ham United have rejected Gremio’s offer for Michail Antonio, which is believed to be in the region of £2million.
The Brazilian side are keen to sign Antonio who will soon enter the final year of his deal at West Ham. The 34-year-old forward has also attracted interest from clubs in Major League Soccer and Saudi Pro League this summer.

The Jamaica international scored seven goals across 30 appearances last season. West Ham are in the market for a new forward with Youssef En-Nesyri, of Sevilla, and Eyle Wahi, of Lens among their targets.
New head coach Julen Lopetegui previously pursued Antonio when he was manager of Wolves and is a fan but the striker is considering all his options.
Antonio is on international duty with Jamaica at the Copa America. He was unable to prevent the Reggae Boyz from being eliminated from the group stage, having scored in their 3-1 defeat to Ecuador.
Since joining from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2015, Antonio has registered 82 goals in 305 appearances.
He is West Ham’s all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League.
