Mateus Fernandes

In June 2026, reports consistently state West Ham's asking price is between £80-£85 million (approx. €94-100 million), with some reports mentioning figures as high as €100 million. However, other reports suggest a lower valuation of €50-60 million due to relegation. Expected opening bids are reportedly around £60 million (approx. €70 million), while Manchester United is said to value the player at £50 million (approx. €59 million) but may open bidding at €75 million. An earlier rumour from January 2026 mentioned a €32 million relegation release clause, but multiple recent reports from May and June 2026 have denied its existence. The player's completed transfer from Southampton to West Ham in August 2025 was for a reported €44 million.

Our valuation for Mateus Fernandes is driven by West Ham's consistent high asking price of around €92-100 million, which is supported by intense interest from multiple elite clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and PSG. While the club's relegation from the Premier League weakens their negotiating position, the auction-like environment is expected to drive the final fee significantly above the €44 million they paid in August 2025, leading to a likely compromise between the expected opening bids of circa €70 million and the top-end asking price.
