Mateus Fernandes to PSG? It has been one of the biggest transfer rumors in recent days. However, the Parisian club is far from being the only team interested in the talented Portuguese midfielder.
PSG dreams of building a fully Portuguese midfield. After the success stories of Vitinha and João Neves, Luis Campos has reportedly set his sights on another rising star from Portugal: Mateus Fernandes. At just 21 years old, the West Ham midfielder has impressed observers across England despite his club’s difficult season.
European Giants Enter the Race
But PSG is no longer alone in the race. According to Spanish newspaper AS, José Mourinho, who is being linked with the Real Madrid job, has personally asked Florentino Pérez to pursue the former Sporting CP player. Such a move could quickly complicate Paris’ plans.
Mateus Fernandes is highly appreciated by Luis Campos, who views him as the perfect addition alongside Vitinha and João Neves in PSG’s midfield. Technically gifted, intelligent, and already experienced at a high level, the Portuguese international fits every requirement on the club’s shortlist.
The challenge for PSG is that Real Madrid is not the only rival. Liverpool and Arsenal are also closely monitoring the player, setting the stage for a major European battle. Another obstacle is his price tag, with several English sources valuing him at more than €90 million. While West Ham’s relegation could create room for negotiations, PSG has been warned: competition for Mateus Fernandes is expected to be fierce.
