West Ham United is expressing interest in acquiring 21-year-old Mateus Fernandes from Southampton. The club has made inquiries about the Portuguese midfielder, who has also caught the attention of Leeds United, Crystal Palace, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid. Fernandes is valued at £20 million, an amount West Ham is financially equipped to cover. Despite Southampton's relegation, the midfielder, who is contracted with the club until 2029, has delivered impressive performances in the Premier League and is versatile in playing both a deeper role and a more advanced midfield position. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €15 million. The decision on where Fernandes will play next remains uncertain as he considers the opportunity to join any of the interested clubs.
