PSG in contact with midfielder that Bruno Fernandes wants at Man United | OneFootball

West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes is catching the attention of some top clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Despite their poor season, the Hammers midfielder has impressed with his consistent performances.

His silky transitions, tactical intelligence, and relentless engine have turned heads all over Europe.

Now, according to Foot Mercato, the sharks are officially circling the London Stadium.

Paris Saint-Germain have formally initiated contact with his representatives, setting the stage for a massive summer transfer battle that also heavily involves Manchester United.

It’s no secret that PSG sporting director Luis Campos is obsessed with building a Parisian empire fueled by elite Portuguese talent.

PSG target move for Portuguese midfielder

You only have to look at their current squad, boasting the likes of Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, João Neves, and Nuno Mendes, to see a very clear, heavily scouted pattern.

Taking Fernandes to the Parc des Princes feels like the ultimate, logical next step in Campos’s recruitment strategy.

Fernandes is represented by Gestifute, the mega-agency that PSG already maintains a spectacularly strong working relationship with.

With several Parisian stars already under the Gestifute umbrella, negotiating the finer details of a summer switch would be a seamless process if the French champions decide to formally open their checkbook.

However, PSG are certainly not going to have a free run at the young maestro.

Man United are also expected to target the West Ham star

Manchester United are intensely monitoring the situation, and they have a highly influential secret weapon in their corner: club captain Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes is impressed with his compatriot and has actively recommended him to the INEOS hierarchy.

With the Red Devils desperately looking to rebuild their engine room and prepare for life after Casemiro, adding a dynamic, Premier League-proven 21-year-old fits their new recruitment model perfectly.

When your club captain practically begs the board to sign someone, it naturally forces the recruitment team to take a very close look.

If they West Ham United suffer the devastating financial blow of relegation, a massive fire sale is inevitable, and a player with 4 goals and 3 assists in 33 appearances across all competitions this term will be the very first asset out the door.
