Paris saint-germain and arsenal renew rivalry for mateus fernandes in 97m€ transfer pursuit

While Paris Saint-Germain officially concluded their competitive season with that memorable Champions League triumph against Arsenal, the club’s work is far from over. Sporting advisor Luis Campos is now fully immersed in the significant task of shaping the squad for the upcoming campaign during the summer transfer window. The Parisian football strategist is already actively pursuing potential reinforcements, with several new faces expected to join the capital club in the months ahead.

PSG and Arsenal rekindle rivalry for Mateus Fernandes

Despite the recent Champions League final now being behind them, the competitive spirit between PSG and Arsenal persists, now manifesting in the transfer market. Reports indicate that both the newly crowned European champions and the Gunners are keen admirers of **West Ham** midfielder **Mateus Fernandes**. **Manchester United** is also understood to be monitoring the situation closely. The talented Portuguese midfielder’s departure from the Hammers this summer appears highly probable, especially after their relegation to the second tier at the close of the season.

Mateus Fernandes valued at a staggering €97M

Even with West Ham‘s relegation, they are reportedly unwilling to let Mateus Fernandes leave on the cheap. The Hammers are said to be demanding double the amount they paid **Southampton** for his services last summer. This valuation could see the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder’s transfer fee reach an astounding €97M. The crucial question remains whether PSG or any other interested club will be prepared to meet such a significant financial demand.
