Sporting academy youngster draws suitors, PSG already move | OneFootball

After a top-class season in service of West Ham, Mateus Fernandes is one of the midfielders attracting the most attention in European football. According to Santi Aouna, PSG have contacted the London side over the signing of the Portugal Under-21 international.

Mateus Fernandes - one of the most sought-after targets of this transfer window - has also drawn the interest of major European clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool and other Premier League sides. With West Ham’s relegation to the second tier of English football, it is believed that a departure could now materialise.

However, the Hammers will do everything they can to hold on to their biggest asset for next season. If a year ago West Ham paid €44 million to Southampton to secure the player, this time the London club are demanding a fee of around €88 million to agree to sell the midfielder.

In England for two seasons, he was part of two different squads that were relegated to the Championship, Southampton and West Ham, respectively. Even so, he always stood out as one of the best players in the squad. This season, he was even nominated for the Premier League Young Player of the Year award.

He even broke into the first team, making 19 appearances and scoring one goal.
