Psg faces competition for mateus fernandes as transfer fee set at 98 million euros

After securing a second consecutive Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain is looking to refresh its squad. The French champions are actively exploring the transfer market, with one key target being Portuguese international Mateus Fernandes. However, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder is attracting interest from several top clubs, particularly in the Premier League, and has already received multiple offers in recent weeks.

“Mateus Fernandes wants to leave West Ham”

“I get a lot of messages saying Mateus Fernandes is headed to Manchester United or Tottenham. The truth is, he’s ready to join either club. He wants to leave West Ham because he refuses to play in the Championship – that’s almost certain. The challenge is reaching an agreement with West Ham,” a source close to the player revealed. The Hammers are demanding a hefty fee for their star asset.

“Mateus Fernandes will go to the club that can agree a financial deal with West Ham”

“No concrete offers have been made yet, but Manchester United and Tottenham are working behind the scenes, checking in almost daily. One day United makes a verbal offer, the next it’s Tottenham – but they’re just verbal proposals. The player will ultimately join the club that can strike a financial agreement with West Ham,” the same source added. PSG has been warned: to sign Mateus Fernandes, they will need to dig deep. West Ham has reportedly set an asking price of €98 million. A story to follow closely.
