Mateus Fernandes

In January 2026, reports mention a relegation release clause of approximately €32 million and a Transfermarkt value of the same amount. This follows his completed transfer from Southampton to West Ham in August 2025 for a reported base fee of €44 million. During that summer 2025 transfer window, rumours suggested Southampton had rejected a €35 million bid, with an asking price as high as €59 million, while other reports valued him between €23.5 million and €35 million. His Transfermarkt value at that time was reported to be €15 million.

Our valuation for Mateus Fernandes is anchored by his recent transfer to West Ham for a reported €44 million in August 2025. This sets a firm upper bound. The lower bound is defined by a widely reported relegation release clause of approximately €32 million, which has attracted interest from top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Manchester City. Our estimate reflects a likely negotiated fee, balancing West Ham's initial investment against the risk of the lower clause being activated should they be relegated.
