West Ham United have failed with a bid for Barcelona youngster Andreu Fontas.

Sport says West Ham made an approach for Fontas on Monday, but was turned down by Barca management.

West Ham were willing to meet Fontas' €3 million buyout clause, but Barca do not want to sell at the moment with the futures of Rafael Marquez and Dmtryo Chygrynskiy still clouded.

The situation may change, however, later during the summer.
