Manchester United pushing strongly to sign Real Madrid midfield target – Romano | OneFootball

Real Madrid have already secured four signings this summer along with the contract renewal of Antonio Rudiger.

However, transfer activity is far from done at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Jose Mourinho & co. working to bring in several more players.

One of the main priorities for Los Blancos this summer is to reinforce the midfield position, although an exit will be required in order to accommodate a new signing.

Mateus Fernandes of West Ham United is one of the players that Real Madrid are closely tracking and are interested in signing.

Indeed, as per the update, Manchester United are one of the clubs who are pushing the hardest to sign the Portuguese midfielder from the Hammers.

The Red Devils, who are in the market for a replacement for Real Madrid legend Casemiro, admire Fernandes and have been in regular contact with his camp as well as West Ham United to push through a deal.

Meanwhile, fellow Premier League Tottenham Hotspur have also entered the race for Fernandes and have asked about the situation with the midfielder’s agent.

Real Madrid considering, but no concrete move

As far as Real Madrid are concerned, they are considering signing Fernandes as an idea but have made no concrete move for him so far.

However, with clubs from the Premier League, particularly Manchester United, pushing for his signing more aggressively, Florentino Perez & co. must act more swiftly if they do intend to add Fernandes to the squad this summer.

At the same time, however, Real Madrid are also tracking more established players including Chelsea superstar Enzo Fernandez.

The Argentina ace, for his part, is eager to make the jump to the Santiago Bernabeu and has been offering himself to the club for some time now.
