Psg faces tough competition for Mateus Fernandes at €98m

The summer transfer window is set to be lively at PSG. The Parisian club has activated several leads to refresh Luis Enrique’s squad after a second consecutive Champions League title. The name of Mateus Fernandes has been mentioned in recent weeks. However, a major battle is already underway for the young midfielder.

PSG is likely to experience a busy summer on the transfer market. The club’s directors want to rejuvenate the squad following their second straight Champions League victory and have therefore pursued multiple transfer targets. One name that surfaced is Mateus Fernandes. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to leave West Ham, which was relegated to the EFL Championship. A fierce competition has already begun for his signature.

Manchester United and Tottenham push for Mateus Fernandes

Insiders indicate that the player will go to the club that makes the best offer to West Ham. Behind the scenes, Tottenham and Manchester United are working on the deal. Tottenham is interested in signing both Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. Manchester United, meanwhile, has already secured Ederson and now wants Mateus Fernandes. Both clubs are involved, holding discussions with West Ham. Tottenham is pushing to finalize the transfer, but Manchester United remains in the race. This is a major battle that will be followed until the end.

West Ham has already set its price for Mateus Fernandes

The asking price is estimated at €98 million. However, the Hammers are hoping to receive an even larger offer for the transfer. PSG, which has a policy of not overpaying for players in terms of both salaries and transfer fees, might pull out of the race if West Ham does not budge from its position. The situation remains to be watched.
