Manchester United<\/a> and Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are both reportedly in the race to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old joined the Hammers from Southampton last summer and enjoyed an impressive 2025-26 campaign, registering three goals and four assists in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

However, after West Ham’s relegation to the Championship, Fernandes could be on the move again, with several top clubs interested in securing his signature.<\/p>\n

Manchester United and Tottenham have been heavily linked with the midfielder, while Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n

Mateus Fernandes: Where will he join next?\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, Fernandes has opened the door to moves to both Manchester United and Tottenham, leaving the next step in the hands of the clubs.<\/p>\n

West Ham are reportedly willing to sanction his departure, but only if an interested club meets their \u00a380m valuation.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that the Red Devils are hoping to conclude a deal worth \u00a365m plus add-ons<\/strong><\/a>, although it remains unclear whether that proposal would satisfy the Hammers.<\/p>\n

Romano claims that Fernandes is expected to join whichever club presents the most attractive financial package to West Ham.<\/p>\n

The transfer expert wrote on X: “Clear feeling on Mateus Fernandes deal as reported last week: he’s ending up to the club bringing best financial proposal to West Ham. Mateus has opened doors to both Man United first and then Tottenham, now up to the clubs.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham have other targets if they miss out on Fernandes<\/p>\n

Roberto De Zerbi has prioritised signing a new central midfielder this summer, and Tottenham are reportedly looking to lodge their second bid<\/strong><\/a> for Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Any deal for the Italy international is likely to be difficult, however, with Newcastle believed to value him at around \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

Manchester United have already secured an agreement for Ederson, but Michael Carrick<\/a> is still keen to strengthen his midfield options following Casemiro’s departure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both reportedly in the race to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,2529,18,2531,13,14,22,2524,2527,6,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,2530,2528,795,2525,119,2533,2532,2526,7,8],"class_list":["post-552759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-cycling","tag-eire","tag-epl","tag-featured-news","tag-featurednews","tag-football","tag-formula-1","tag-golf","tag-headlines","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-latest-news","tag-latestnews","tag-main-news","tag-mainnews","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-olympics","tag-premier-league","tag-rugby","tag-sport","tag-sports-mole","tag-teams","tag-tennis","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
