West Ham United has firmly responded to rumors regarding an interest from Manchester United in signing Mateus Fernandes, as the transfer market heats up and speculation increases. The Portuguese midfielder, just 21 years old, has been identified as a primary target for the Red Devils for the upcoming season, but the London club has now clarified the situation.
According to sources close to West Ham, there has been no direct contact from Manchester United or any other club regarding Mateus Fernandes. Despite the team’s relegation to the Championship, the young Portuguese international has been standing out in the squad and is seen as a highly valuable asset, estimated at around £80 million. The Hammers face an urgent need to make sales exceeding £100 million to balance their finances, so the midfielder’s departure is practically guaranteed, although there have been no official negotiations to date.
On the Manchester United side, the midfield situation is undergoing significant changes. With the imminent departure of Casemiro and the possible exit of Manuel Ugarte, bringing in a reinforcement for that position is a priority for manager Michael Carrick. Mateus Fernandes, who idolizes compatriot Bruno Fernandes, a key figure at the Red Devils, is one of the names that appeals most to the club’s management.
Meanwhile, Manchester United could benefit financially from a transfer that promises to shake up the market: the potential departure of Mason Greenwood from Olympique Marseille to Fenerbahce. The candidate for the presidency of the Turkish club, Hakan Safi, confirmed that he has a four-year agreement with the English forward, highlighting the player’s quality and the impact he will have on the Istanbul emblem. This transfer could also generate additional revenue for Manchester United, due to a sell-on clause included in the contract with Marseille, which exceeds the usual 5 to 10 percent, as revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
With the market in full swing, West Ham maintains its firm stance, while Manchester United continues to shape an ambitious squad for the upcoming season. The saga surrounding Mateus Fernandes is far from over and promises to be one of the most exciting chapters of the transfer window.
