Mateus Fernandes

In August 2025, Mateus Fernandes completed a transfer from Southampton to West Ham for a reported base fee of €44 million. During that same transfer window, reports mentioned Southampton rejected a £30m (~€35m) bid and were seeking up to £50m (~€58m), while other valuations ranged from £20m-£25m (~€23m-€29m). By January 2026, reports mentioned a potential relegation release clause of approximately €32 million. More recently, in March and April 2026, West Ham's asking price has been consistently reported in the €65 million to €75 million range, with other reports suggesting a fee of around £55m (~€64m) might be accepted or that bids over £57m (~€67m) would be required.

Our valuation for Mateus Fernandes is driven by strong, persistent interest from multiple top-tier clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool. This is anchored by his recent €44 million transfer to West Ham in August 2025 and his subsequent strong performances. West Ham's consistently reported asking price is between €65 million and €75 million, reflecting their desire to keep him. While a relegation release clause is mentioned, the club's firm public stance and the high level of interest suggest a final fee will be significantly higher, likely landing in the middle of our estimated range.
