Man Utd, PSG, Real Madrid and now Spurs: Mateus Fernandes stuns Europe | OneFootball

Tottenham are interested in signing West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, and have joined the race for the young Portuguese player, according to The Athletic. De Zerbi is pushing for the signing of the 21-year-old Portugal international, whose transfer fee has been valued by Nuno Espírito Santo’s side at around €92 million.

Manchester United have also already made an enquiry and held talks over the transfer fee and salary, focusing their efforts on the Portuguese midfielder - who has been one of the most sought-after players at the start of this transfer window. Meanwhile, PSG and Mourinho’s Real Madrid are also on the list of interested clubs.

London club’s need to sell is a crucial factor for the interested teams. After relegation to the Championship, the club needs to raise €175 million, and Mateus Fernandes is one of its most valuable assets. Signed from Southampton, the midfielder joined the club in August 2025 for €44 million, signing a contract until 2030 with no release clause.

In the 2025/26 season, Mateus Fernandes was consistently one of the standout performers, scoring five goals and providing five assists in 42 matches for West Ham. To crown the campaign, he was one of the nominees for the club’s player of the season award.

Tottenham, keen to strengthen the squad, are looking for a major overhaul, after finishing the Premier League in 17th place for two consecutive seasons. Also on their list of possible signings is Sandro Tonali of Newcastle, and his signing would not rule out the arrival of Mateus Fernandes.
