Sporting CP are willing to sell William Carvalho to West Ham - despite their public slanging match earlier this season.

Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho says he is prepared to do business with the Hammers ahead of the January market.

He told IBTimes: "There was this soap regarding West Ham, but it is not interesting, it is not important because there was nothing.

"English clubs do conduct themselves in a good way; they are not perfect but there is no perfection in the world. But it is good to work with them."

He added: "If we close this soap [I will deal with West Ham again]. It is not good for anybody because the fans deserve better, the truth, our respect. The fans are the most important thing at the club.

"So if we finish what was a strange soap, let's see. But I don't know if they will finish, because it was very, very strange. But I continue with a very good impression of the English clubs."
