The summer transfer window is set to be a busy one for PSG. After clinching a second consecutive Champions League title, the capital club is looking to refresh Luis Enrique’s squad. Among the names circulating in recent weeks is Mateus Fernandes. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to leave West Ham, who were relegated to the EFL Championship. However, Manchester United may leapfrog PSG in the race for the Portuguese star.
“Manchester United is in talks with the player’s agents”
“There are many clubs interested in Mateus Fernandes. But I can guarantee two things. First, Manchester United is in discussions with the player’s agents. The club has started conversations about the potential transfer cost (fee plus salary). And second, the price: West Ham is asking for around €98M to let Mateus Fernandes leave this summer. He will definitely go, because he’s not a Championship player, but West Ham is very clear on the price,” stated Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel.
Is Mateus Fernandes leaning towards a move to Manchester United?
It remains to be seen what Mateus Fernandes will decide for his future. While PSG’s project is attractive, Manchester United has been pursuing the Portuguese international since last summer. The West Ham player would reportedly not be opposed to joining the Red Devils this summer, according to the British press. As for the Ligue 1 side, they have reportedly activated other transfer market leads, including Yan Diomandé (RB Leipzig), Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth), and Maghnes Akliouche (AS Monaco). The transfer window promises to be an interesting one to follow from the Parisian perspective.
