West Ham put massive price tag on Mateus Fernandes
West Ham United have put an £80m price tag on Mateus Fernandes amid interest in the midfielder from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
Fernandes is set to leave West Ham following the club’s relegation from the Premier League, but the East Londoners will not allow the 21-year-old to depart on the cheap.
West Ham need to raise around £150m to balance the books after relegation with Fernandes among the club’s most saleable assets.
The midfielder was a rare positive in an otherwise disappointing campaign for the Hammers, with his performances earning Fernandes a Portugal debut in March.
Manchester United want to add Fernandes to their squad as part of a midfield rebuild, but are yet to make a formal approach.
West Ham want £80m for Manchester United target Mateus Fernandes
West Ham want £80m for Fernandes, according to The Athletic. Fernandes joined the Hammers from Southampton for a £38m fee last summer, and the Saints inserted a 15% sell-on clause into that deal.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are anticipating an exodus of leading figures from the London Stadium. Club captain Jarrod Bowen is attracting significant interest from top-flight clubs, though West Ham are keen to keep the 29-year-old.
Greek international Konstantinos Mavropanos, who won the club’s Player of the Year award, is subject of interest from clubs in England and Germany.
