According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is in contact with West Ham and Mateus Fernandes' agent, Jorge Mendes, every day. Romano stated that Mateus Fernandes is open to joining Manchester United and that the club remained in active conversations for him even after Manuel Ugarte's injury.

Manchester United were unwilling to meet West Ham’s £85m asking fee for Mateus Fernandes. An agreement on personal terms had been reached between Mateus Fernandes and Manchester United, leaving the two clubs to agree on a deal with West Ham. Manchester United will now focus on different targets in midfield. There was competition between Tottenham and Manchester United for the transfer of Fernandes from West Ham.

Mateus Fernandes attracted admirers from across Europe, with Real Madrid, Paris St Germain and Manchester United all interested in the player. According to PA, Manchester United pushed to sign Fernandes but are determined to only buy players at the right valuation and who want to play for the club, a desire that was not always clear from the Sporting Lisbon academy graduate throughout the process.

According to an update from Ben Jacobs, Spurs are set to pay £85m for Mateus Fernandes. Manchester United were interested in Fernandes but were not prepared to meet that figure. Fernandes did not communicate a sole preference to either club, leaving it to both to negotiate with West Ham.

Manchester United had identified Mateus Fernandes as a priority target following their agreement to sign Ederson from Atalanta. It has been suggested that Manchester United were discouraged by the price tag and the player's wage demands. Alex Crook of talkSPORT suggested that Fernandes' preference was not clear during their transfer pursuit. Manchester United did not secure Fernandes and must now reassess their alternatives.

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Manchester United were unwilling to pay the amount Tottenham Hotspur offered for Mateus Fernandes. The report states that Tottenham Hotspur's proposal for the West Ham United midfielder was higher than what Manchester United was willing to pay, which is why Tottenham was successful in its pursuit of the player.

Manchester United made early progress in their effort to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, and it was understood that personal terms would not be an issue. Manchester United held new talks with Fernandes and West Ham, but they were unsuccessful. According to previous reports, Mateus Fernandes would have preferred a move to the Red Devils to play alongside compatriot Bruno Fernandes. However, Manchester United was not willing to meet West Ham's asking price of more than €90 million. The financial requirement was too high for Manchester United, and Mateus Fernandes will join Tottenham instead.

According to Team Talk, Manchester United and West Ham United are still in negotiations for Mateus Fernandes, with discussions expected to advance significantly over the next week. The report states that Manchester United is exploring ways to reach an agreement on personal terms while considering their overall wage structure. While the talks have been productive, an agreement on the full package has not been reached, and the report suggests the next seven days could be decisive.

Manchester United's recruitment team, which includes Kyle Macaulay, admires Mateus Fernandes but is constrained by SCR limits and amortisation commitments. It is difficult for the club to meet West Ham's £80–85m price without making major sales.

According to FootballTransfers, Manchester United are currently ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the effort to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes this summer. Sources have informed FootballTransfers that Man Utd are significantly further ahead in negotiations with West Ham than Spurs. The Man Utd hierarchy has reportedly identified Fernandes as a priority target and they want to sign him before the summer transfer window closes on 1 September. Talks between the two clubs are likely to advance in the coming weeks. West Ham wants over €90 million for Fernandes.

Manchester United have opened formal talks with West Ham over a deal for Mateus Fernandes. West Ham value Mateus Fernandes at £80m and are looking to double their £40m investment from Southampton made a year ago. Manchester United feel the fee is too high and are delaying meeting West Ham's demands, with their valuation understood to be between £60m to £70m with add-ons. Both Manchester United and Tottenham have agreed personal terms with Mateus Fernandes. According to Claret & Hugh, an offered package worth £130,000 to £140,000 a week has reportedly influenced the player. Journalist Andy Mitten stated that Manchester United understand that Mateus Fernandes wants to join the club. According to Shaun Connolly, Fernandes has indicated for some time that United is his preferred destination.

Manchester United have reportedly agreed personal terms with Mateus Fernandes but are still preparing their formal bid. The club is reportedly offering approximately £130k-£140k a week. If a transfer does not occur, Fernandes will remain a West Ham player and is scheduled to start against Burnley on Sunday 16th August.

According to Romano, Mateus Fernandes is now valued at €98m (£85m) after competition between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur has led West Ham United to increase their asking price. Widespread reports have indicated both Premier League clubs are interested in signing Fernandes, with The Times claiming earlier in the week that the 21-year-old had a valuation of €92m (£80m). A contrary report from the Daily Mirror claims United are not prepared to pay that price, though Romano understands they remain in contact with West Ham. Romano said the player is ready to accept both projects and that it now depends on which club can agree terms with West Ham. He added that negotiations start at £85 million and could be more if the clubs continue to compete for the same player. Romano also said payment terms are important for West Ham, so it is not just about the fee but also about the timing of the payment.

According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United are in ongoing negotiations to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham. Plettenberg stated that Manchester United are determined to complete the deal, do not intend to back down, and that personal terms are not an issue between the player and the club. It is understood that Fernandes favors a move to Old Trafford, where the prospect of Champions League football under Michael Carrick is a significant factor. The remaining obstacle is the negotiations between the clubs. Following their relegation, West Ham are demanding £85 million for Mateus Fernandes, and Manchester United's opening bids are expected to fall short of that valuation. Figures within Manchester United view the deal as a high priority.

According to Ben Jacobs, discussions between Manchester United and Mateus Fernandes have been ongoing since May. Both Manchester United and Spurs are in active talks with West Ham regarding Fernandes. There are suggestions that as of this morning, Fernandes has not yet decided on a club. West Ham have maintained their asking price to date, with a £90m cash payment and multiple suitors involved. Further clarity is expected soon, as the clubs or the player do not want the situation to continue beyond July.

According to Matteo Moretto, Manchester United has had new contacts with Mateus Fernandes recently. Manchester United is willing to improve its contract offer to convince Mateus Fernandes to sign and also plans to hold direct talks with West Ham.

According to Romano, West Ham United will sell Mateus Fernandes to the highest bidder this summer, and the club has been clear with the player's agent that he will be sold for the best offer. Romano understands that Man Utd remain interested in the 21-year-old, despite a claim by the Daily Mirror that the club views his €92million (£80m) asking price as problematic. Romano said that Manchester United are still in contact with West Ham, are still working on the deal, and have not yet given up on Fernandes.

Manchester United are competing with Tottenham Hotspur for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes. West Ham are expected to sell him but have a valuation of £80-85 million, a figure United are unwilling to match. Ineos are reluctant to overpay and have threatened to end their interest, with a cheaper move for Alex Scott being considered as an alternative.

While personal terms with Mateus Fernandes have not been an issue for Man Utd, the problem has been agreeing a fee with relegated West Ham, who are negotiating firmly. It is believed that the Hammers will have to sell to ensure their finances are in order, but a cash injection from Daniel Kretinsky, who appears ready to increase his stake in the club, could lessen the problem.

The Guardian previously reported that United were in the leading position to sign Mateus Fernandes. Tottenham's strong effort to sign the Portuguese midfielder has caused United to consider other targets.

Andy Mitten of The Athletic stated that Mateus Fernandes would prefer to join Manchester United, although he would play for Spurs. Mitten added that the outcome depends on how much Manchester United is willing to pay and that the club does not want to participate in an auction. The Independent reported on positive talks taking place over a potential £85m move to Spurs.

Manchester United are seeking to strengthen their midfield and may compete with Tottenham Hotspur for Mateus Fernandes, who is expected to leave West Ham United after the club's relegation. Real Madrid have also been linked with Fernandes, but according to reports, their priority is Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea. It has been suggested that Fernandes is receptive to moving to either Manchester United or Tottenham. Manchester United could gain an advantage if they match West Ham's £80m asking price. It is reported that Fernandes has reached a personal agreement with Manchester United. This means the player's preference could be the decisive factor, even if Tottenham were to offer better financial terms.

According to The Times, Manchester United, who have long been considered the favourites to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, have so far resisted the club's over €90m asking price. Tottenham are willing to pay a higher transfer fee and match West Ham's asking price, which Sky Sports confirmed on Wednesday.

Goal.com reports that Tottenham are increasing their efforts to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes ahead of Manchester United. The Red Devils are reluctant to enter an expensive bidding war and could now withdraw.

Tottenham have recently been the leading contenders for Mateus Fernandes. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Spurs are in advanced talks with the West Ham midfielder.

According to Miguel Delaney, chief football writer for the Telegraph, Manchester United is interested in Mateus Fernandes, and the club was at least at one point the player’s first choice for a destination. Delaney reports that Spurs’ transfer fee package is bigger than that currently offered by United. Spurs are also offering bigger wages, which could be a deciding factor.

Manchester United are competing with Tottenham Hotspur for Mateus Fernandes. After securing a deal with Atalanta for Ederson, Manchester United identified the West Ham player as their desired second midfield acquisition. Recruiting Fernandes will not be easy for Man Utd due to competition from Spurs and the Hammers’ asking price. Manchester United feel £60 million would be a fair price, but are prepared to go beyond this figure.

Fabrizio Romano stated that the feeling on the Mateus Fernandes deal is that he will join the club that brings the best financial proposal to West Ham. Romano said Mateus Fernandes is open to joining both Manchester United and Tottenham, and that the decision is now with the clubs. Football Insider have linked Fernandes with Liverpool, and Romano has previously mentioned Real Madrid.

It is stated that there is an increasing belief in M16 that the speculation surrounding Fernandes is being primarily driven by Mendes, who is reputed to use these tactics to secure the most favorable terms for his clients. It is mentioned that options for Mateus Fernandes include Old Trafford, Champions League football, and playing with his Portuguese captain Bruno Fernandes. It is suggested that efforts are being made privately to persuade Manchester United to agree to a payment amount they were unwilling to pay.

Manchester United began to pursue the signing of Mateus Fernandes after ending their pursuit of Elliot Anderson due to Nottingham Forest’s demands. Following West Ham United’s relegation, Fernandes became a market opportunity. However, West Ham United's £85 million valuation and Tottenham Hotspur’s attempts to sign the Portuguese player have made the pursuit very difficult for Manchester United.

Manchester United have made substantial progress in their pursuit of Mateus Fernandes and are confident they can secure a deal. United’s interest is largely due to sporting director Jason Wilcox, who has a long-standing connection with Fernandes from his time at Southampton. Wilcox was instrumental in bringing Fernandes to English football and has maintained close relationships with key figures around the player. These connections have helped United be in a favorable position. According to sources, Old Trafford officials are optimistic that their preparatory work will be successful.

Manchester United are interested in West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes and are continuing talks with the club without having made a formal bid. West Ham hope to generate competitive bids for Fernandes, as Tottenham appear prepared to meet the £85m asking price. It is also believed that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are observing the situation. The player's personal terms are not expected to be an obstacle.

Manchester United are preparing to intensify their efforts to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, and the current focus is on reaching an agreement with West Ham. The Athletic reports that West Ham’s £80m asking price is a fundamental sticking point for INEOS. Separately, it is understood that Old Trafford chiefs have shown a reluctance to meet this figure. The Athletic confirms that Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have both expressed interest. Additionally, many top clubs in the country and on the continent are exploring a deal. Tottenham Hotspur represent the most significant competition for Manchester United after joining the efforts to sign the player last week at the request of Roberto De Zerbi. It is understood that Tottenham have held talks with Fernandes’ representatives, who are led by Jorge Mendes, and have received encouragement that he would be willing to move to another club in London. The Athletic also notes that personal terms between United and Fernandes are not expected to be an issue and that United are expected to make a formal offer. Internally, United are believed to be confident that they are the leading contenders to sign Fernandes. The midfielder sees a transfer to Old Trafford as a desired move and considers Bruno Fernandes as a personal idol.

talkSPORT reports that Manchester United have made Mateus Fernandes a priority signing, and that the £80m-rated player is believed to be open to a move. He has been tipped to join United in a potential £130m double deal with teammate Crysencio Summerville. The outlet's chief football correspondent, Alex Crook, said that Manchester United have essentially already agreed personal terms with Fernandes.

Liverpool have reportedly made contact with West Ham for Fernandes and could potentially sign him ahead of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Man United and Spurs are working on signing Fernandes, who is not expected to be cheap. Speaking on Born 'N Red on 22 June, Romano said that Tottenham and Man United are working on a deal and that many clubs are involved. Romano added that the player will be expensive, costing more than £85m.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Mateus Fernandes. According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham are insisting on at least £85m for Fernandes and believe they can increase that price as more clubs become interested in him. The transfer insider also hinted that Fernandes has agreed to join the club that presents the best proposal to West Ham. Romano said the feeling is that the club bringing the best proposal to West Ham, who have a starting price of £85m and believe they can get more, will also be able to close the deal with the player.

Manchester United are working intensively on a deal for Mateus Fernandes, engaging with both West Ham United and the player's agent, Jorge Mendes. However, according to Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge via Last Word on Spurs, the preference of Fernandes to remain in London is considered a setback to Manchester United’s chances.

Manchester United remain confident of signing West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes in the summer, despite competition from Tottenham Hotspur. Mateus Fernandes prefers a move to Old Trafford over Tottenham, attracted by the immediate guarantee of European football. Fernandes idolises club captain Bruno Fernandes and is eager to play alongside his compatriot. Direct club-to-club discussions are ongoing as Manchester United work to agree a fee with West Ham. The Hammers are seeking an £85 million fee for an asset they signed for £40 million last summer. United are unwilling to meet that valuation, targeting a deal around £65 million and relying on financial pressure on West Ham to generate approximately £150 million in player sales this summer. With personal terms broadly agreed between United and Fernandes’ representatives, the final phase of the transfer depends on the clubs agreeing on the valuation.

Manchester United has identified Mateus Fernandes as its priority midfield target this summer, but negotiations are difficult due to West Ham's £80-85 million valuation. As a result, United is also exploring alternative options, including Sander Berge from Fulham and Carlos Baleba from Brighton.

Fabrizio has stated that Man Utd are trying to sign two players from the Hammers for £130m this summer. Manchester United are being quoted £100 million for Fernandes.

Fabrizio Romano stated that Manchester United are pushing in talks with the agent of Mateus Fernandes and are also pushing in talks with West Ham United to try and find a solution. Romano also said Man Utd are working on a deal for Fernandes. West Ham are demanding £80-85m. Two clubs from England are pushing financially for Mateus Fernandes. Tottenham Hotspur have entered the pursuit for Fernandes, as confirmed by Romano. Mateus Fernandes is also an idea for Real Madrid, as indicated by Jose Mourinho.

Manchester United are pursuing West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes. The Telegraph reported that United are ready to make a £120m attempt to sign two of their top summer targets from West Ham.

Tottenham face competition in their bid to sign Mateus Fernandes, as Manchester United have already laid groundwork for a deal. Fernandes would prefer a move to Old Trafford over signing for Tottenham. A trusted Spurs source posted on X that he strongly desires to join United.

According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United might be willing to wait until June 30 in their pursuit of Mateus Fernandes because of West Ham's financial situation. June 30 is the end of the financial year for the Premier League and EFL. West Ham United need to generate £150 million from player sales this summer and believe they can obtain over half of this amount from the sale of Fernandes, who has been valued at £80m. After recording a loss of £104.2m last financial year, West Ham may need to sell Fernandes close to the deadline, which could improve Manchester United's negotiating position.

Manchester United have held a series of talks with Mateus Fernandes and have secured his agreement for a move to Old Trafford. The club has not yet made a second offer and is hoping that West Ham's stance will soften. According to Laurie Whitwell, United could construct a deal starting at £60m plus £10m in add-ons, for a total of £70m, and £80m would be seen as too high a price. Manchester United feel they have a good chance of getting Mateus Fernandes.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are in direct contact with Mateus Fernandes' representatives, and the player is very interested in the move. Discussions with the player's side are proceeding well, while talks between the clubs with West Ham are ongoing. West Ham's valuation for Fernandes starts at £85m and they ideally wanted £100m, but the expectation is that a deal could be closed for around £85m and not for less. Manchester United's initial discussion is for a fee under £85m. Sources have indicated that Manchester United plan to bid again if their opening offer is turned down. PSG and Real Madrid are also interested. Romano stated that there will be movement regarding Fernandes' future in the next hours and days.

West Ham insist they are under no pressure to sell, but it is likely that players such as Summerville and Mateus Fernandes will be leaving.

Manchester United are discussing a move for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes and have made him a priority. The club has yet to make a formal bid, but discussions have been held with the player's representatives, and it is believed personal terms will not be an issue. United changed their focus to Fernandes from Man City target Elliot Anderson and are understood to have moved ahead of Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the pursuit of the 21-year-old. Manchester United are leading the pursuit for the £80m-rated player. West Ham want up to £140million for both Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville, but United intend to pay considerably less.

According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid have made a new approach for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes in the past 48 hours, as they are trying to sign the player before Manchester United.

Manchester United have informed West Ham that they will not pay an excessive price for Mateus Fernandes, who the club has identified as their primary transfer target for the summer. Fernandes has expressed a desire to move to Old Trafford and wants to secure Champions League football. Manchester United are confident that agreeing on personal terms will not be an issue. The fee West Ham is demanding is a point of difficulty in the negotiations. According to The Mirror, West Ham has valued the midfielder at approximately £80m and wants to encourage competitive offers, with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid also interested. Manchester United is expected to make an initial offer later this week, and it will be for a sum significantly lower than £80m. The club is not hurrying the process and is prepared for extended negotiations to secure a deal on its own terms, as Fernandes is very keen on a move to Old Trafford.

According to Fraser Fletcher, there is increasing confidence that a deal for Mateus Fernandes to join Manchester United will be completed this summer. Although Jose Mourinho has requested the signing for Real Madrid, it is understood the club is prepared to withdraw its interest as a result of the large fee that West Ham are demanding. According to Samuel Luckhurst, Real Madrid now expect Fernandes to move to Old Trafford. Luckhurst also reports that United is already in talks and the player has expressed a preference to join Carrick’s side. While any offer from United will be below the £80m that the Hammers are seeking, it is expected that a compromise will be reached and a deal for approximately £60m will likely be agreed.

According to The Times, 21-year-old Mateus Fernandes is set to join Manchester United in a €92 million (£80m) deal. Fernandes is expected to leave the Hammers, who need to raise funds after being relegated from the Premier League last season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Man Utd have made contact with West Ham regarding the signing of Mateus Fernandes and are trying to lower the £85m transfer fee. The Italian journalist said on his YouTube channel that his understanding remains that the player's price is £85 million. Manchester United are in official negotiations with the player's agent about the contract, and are also in contact with West Ham to discuss the transfer fee. Man Utd want to understand if there is a possibility to restructure the deal, perhaps with a lower fee than £85m but with the addition of some add-ons. Talks are ongoing for Mateus Fernandes.

According to Team Talk, the transfer of West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes to Manchester United is imminent. Fernandes is reportedly set to be the second arrival at Manchester United, as the Portuguese prefers a move to Old Trafford over all others. Manchester United are now advancing a deal with West Ham, and agreeing personal terms with the 21-year-old, who is valued at £85m, is not expected to be a problem.

Manchester United are ahead of Arsenal in pursuing the signing of West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes. According to The Times, Manchester United are becoming more confident of signing the 21-year-old this summer, having moved ahead of Arsenal, who are unwilling to meet the asking price of over £80 million. Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have also been associated with the Portugal international. West Ham appear prepared to sell Fernandes after their relegation. Although Old Trafford is considered his most probable destination, it is alleged that the new Real Madrid manager, José Mourinho, has requested the Spanish club attempt to sign his fellow countryman.

Manchester United are confident they will quickly complete the signing of Mateus Fernandes, despite the expectation that West Ham will reject their opening offer. United have held talks with Fernandes's representatives over a potential move and are prepared to make a first formal offer. West Ham have approved the sale of Mateus Fernandes, according to sources. Any offer from Manchester United will be for a price significantly lower than the £80m West Ham are seeking. United's opening offer is expected to be insufficient, but this is anticipated to lead to extensive negotiations between the clubs. A deal will be finalised, according to the belief of sources, and there is growing confidence that Fernandes will become Manchester United's second signing of the summer. Fernandes has already given his personal approval for the move to Old Trafford, and an agreement on personal terms is not anticipated to be a problem.

According to FootballTransfers, Manchester United are planning to submit an opening offer for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes in the coming days. The same source indicates the club's first bid for Fernandes is likely to be approximately €75 million (£65m), which is below West Ham’s valuation of the player.

There is talk of an £80m move to Manchester United for Mateus Fernandes, who has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and PSG. Vasco Seabra, who coached Fernandes at Estoril, praised his qualities and potential.

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United believe director of football Jason Wilcox gives them a significant advantage in the pursuit of Mateus Fernandes. The club is intensifying its pursuit of the West Ham United midfielder, and sources have told TEAMtalk that Wilcox’s long-standing relationship with Fernandes could be a deciding factor. While many elite clubs are monitoring the Portugal international, insiders believe Wilcox’s connection gives the Old Trafford club a distinct advantage. Wilcox has personally maintained contact with representatives for Fernandes regarding his future. Manchester United are actively assessing midfield reinforcements, and Fernandes is viewed internally as one of the leading options available. The club's interest is very real and increasing, but no formal bid has been submitted yet.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are in contact with Mateus Fernandes, and West Ham have set his price at £85m in a meeting with the player's camp. United’s leadership group, INEOS, has already initiated contact with the player’s representatives. It is uncertain whether United will be willing to meet the £85 million price tag West Ham have set.

Manchester United are working on signing Mateus Fernandes. United insider Sully (UtdDistrict) stated that Fernandes wants the move. The BBC’s Simon Stone reported an immediate disagreement over the fee West Ham are demanding and the one United expect to pay. Sully stated that it is true West Ham are demanding £80m, but United would not pay that amount and a deal could be done for less. Sully also stated that Fernandes personally prefers a move to Manchester United, but this preference would not be made public to avoid weakening Jorge Mendes' negotiating position.

Mateus Fernandes is among the alternative options for Manchester United if they fail to sign Elliot Anderson.

United have reached an agreement on the overall package for the Brazilian, who may soon have the Hammers star as a new team-mate.

Manchester United officials have flown to London for discussions with West Ham regarding the potential transfer of Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes. The face-to-face meeting is to finalise structural payment terms. According to a report, if those negotiations prove successful, Manchester United are expected to submit an official opening bid within the next 48 hours. Internal discussions suggest West Ham value Mateus Fernandes at up to £70 million to £80 million, which leaves a significant difference for United to negotiate. West Ham are in a difficult negotiating position following their recent relegation. United face competition from Liverpool, and reports state that incoming manager Andoni Iraola wants to make Mateus Fernandes his first signing at the club. Arsenal are also linked with the midfielder, and there is interest from Chelsea as well.

Manchester United have held talks with West Ham over a potential fee for Mateus Fernandes and with the player over personal terms, according to The Athletic. Another report claims that Fernandes is very interested in moving to Old Trafford to join his Portuguese compatriot Bruno.

According to Manchester United reporter Ross Harwood on X, Manchester United want to sign the midfielder from West Ham United for approximately £45 million. It has been reported that Fernandes wants to join Manchester United following West Ham's relegation. Manchester United have been in talks with the 21-year-old's agents for some time, and it is now claimed that the midfielder will request a move to Old Trafford. Harwood stated that talks are now expected to accelerate, as the player will request the move to encourage the clubs to agree on a deal. He also reported that Fernandes has already given a verbal agreement on personal terms and that there is an expectation for this to be the next summer signing after the Ederson deal is completed.

Manchester United has shown concrete interest in Mateus Fernandes, who is being monitored by several top clubs after West Ham's relegation to the Championship. According to Caught Offside, Manchester United is among the clubs showing concrete interest in Mateus Fernandes and is looking for a successor to his compatriot Bruno Fernandes. West Ham has reportedly set the transfer fee between 50 and 60 million euros, aiming to maximize profit after relegation. The high price requested by West Ham could reduce the interest of some of the clubs pursuing him.

Mateus Fernandes has been permitted to leave West Ham United this summer following discussions with the club. Manchester United have already made contact with West Ham and are actively considering a formal bid for Mateus Fernandes. West Ham are asking for more than £80 million (€92.5m, $108m) for the player, but initial offers are anticipated to begin around £60 million (€69m, $81m) plus performance-related add-ons. Negotiations are expected to progress more quickly in the coming weeks. According to sources, Mateus Fernandes will move to an elite side this window, ending his one-year stay at the London Stadium.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, West Ham want £84 million for Mateus Fernandes. The talkSPORT journalist claimed that there is no relegation clause in Fernandes’s contract at West Ham. Jacobs wrote on X that West Ham value Mateus Fernandes at double the £38m plus £4m paid to Southampton.

West Ham has informed Manchester United that they will have to pay as much as 80 million pounds, or 92 million euros, for Mateus Fernandes this summer. West Ham is forced to sell the Portuguese midfielder after being relegated, according to The Times. Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is showing interest in Fernandes as he prepares for a future without Casemiro. It is uncertain whether United will be willing to pay the requested amount. When West Ham purchased Fernandes for 38 million pounds, Southampton included a 15 percent future sale clause in the contract. Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, appreciates Mateus Fernandes and would like to play with him at club level. Mateus Fernandes wants to prove himself in the Champions League.

Manchester United increasingly believe a deal for Mateus Fernandes can be completed this summer, despite their valuation being significantly lower than West Ham’s. Manchester United value Mateus Fernandes at around £50 million and want to assess if a reasonable deal can be completed. According to journalist Dean Jones, writing for Flashscore, West Ham may have to sell Mateus Fernandes for a price lower than their £80m valuation. A report indicates that West Ham’s relegation will likely lower their asking price for Fernandes and that a £50m offer might now be considered reasonable. While West Ham still values the player at approximately £80m, they now appear to be in a position where they might be forced to accept a lower bid, which gives United a high level of confidence that a deal can be completed.

Mateus Fernandes is on Manchester United's shortlist of midfield signings for the summer. It is possible that any two of Mateus Fernandes, Carlos Baleba, or Sandro Tonali will be signed, in addition to Ederson. Following West Ham's relegation, Fernandes is considered to be much more attainable.

According to The i Paper, Manchester United are planning a bid to bring West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes to Old Trafford and intend to make an offer for him in the coming weeks. The i Paper has stated that United are interested due to his ability to receive the ball over the pitch, which would provide competition for Kobbie Mainoo. Sources added that United are his first choice, and the report claims that Fernandes is interested in a move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window. Fraser Fletcher reported on May 14 that Manchester United are determined to sign Fernandes from West Ham in the summer of 2026. At that time, sources informed TEAMtalk that Manchester United had already made contact with Fernandes's agents, and TEAMtalk reported that Fernandes is very interested in a move to Manchester United. West Ham value Fernandes at £80 million, but with the Hammers in the Championship, it is uncertain whether the club will have to sell him for a lower price.

Mateus Fernandes is expected to leave the Hammers following the club's relegation to the Championship, which was confirmed on Sunday afternoon. Many clubs are interested, including Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain. The London club has set a price of 80 million pounds sterling, or about 93 million euros, for him, according to the Daily Mail.

West Ham's Mateus Fernandes is one of Manchester United's targets, but United are not willing to match West Ham's asking price.

Manchester United are leading clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in the effort to sign West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes. United are firmly ahead in the effort to sign him after making a new approach. According to The Guardian’s Jacob Steinberg, United’s head of scouting, Kyle Macaulay, could be a key advantage in talks with Fernandes. Steinberg also said that if Fernandes were to stay at any club in England, United would be his most likely destination. A connection is noted, as Kyle Macaulay previously brought Fernandes to West Ham and is now at United. Jason Wilcox's history with Southampton is also mentioned as a connection. If West Ham avoid relegation, they will look at the sale of Fernandes as something that could solve their financial problems, and the 21-year-old will cost £80 million. If the club is relegated, that price will drop ‘dramatically’.

A report from The Athletic states that West Ham is willing to sell Mateus Fernandes this summer. The same report indicates that Manchester United is also following the player, is aware of the situation, and is considering several midfield profiles.

According to The Guardian, financial issues could require West Ham United to raise $134 million (£100 million) through player sales if they are relegated, and midfielder Mateus Fernandes is the subject of interest from Manchester United.

According to The Daily Mail, Man Utd are accelerating talks to sign West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes. The same report states that while both Man Utd and Arsenal are interested, it is Man Utd who are actively pursuing a deal at this time after holding further talks. TEAMtalk has been informed that West Ham value the 21-year-old Portugal international at £80m. He was signed from Southampton for £40m one year ago. West Ham's ability to achieve their asking price would be severely hampered if they were to be relegated.

According to Claret & Hugh, West Ham's asking price of around €100 million for Mateus Fernandes has not been taken seriously by agents in the industry. Man Utd are believed to be strongly interested in Fernandes, who has been one of the few positives of West Ham's season.

According to sources who informed TEAMtalk, Manchester United are the leading candidates to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes this summer, and the player is understood to be very interested in a move to Old Trafford. Sources close to the situation have confirmed that Manchester United are very interested in Fernandes and have already made contact with his representatives. Fernandes would be very interested in the move, particularly the opportunity to play for a Champions League side. Manchester United view the Portugal international as a potential long-term solution for their midfield, and some sources suggest that he could partner or eventually replace club captain Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes is one of 13 midfield talents listed by INEOS as potential targets, and the club’s transfer committee has formed a Plan A, B, C, and D. West Ham are said to value Fernandes at a minimum of £80m (€92.3m, $108.1m), a figure that will decrease should they not retain their Premier League status.

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United has shown growing interest in West Ham's Mateus Fernandes.

West Ham is not willing to let the player leave easily, strengthening their negotiating position for the upcoming summer.

Mateus Fernandes has been increasingly linked with a move to Manchester United as a potential replacement for Casemiro. Fernandes has not commented directly on the transfer speculation. On the Premier League’s YouTube channel, Fernandes was asked which football era he would travel back to and play in. He replied that it would be Cristiano's time in Manchester, adding that United were unbelievable at that time and Cristiano was amazing.

According to Football Insider, West Ham United have placed a £84 million valuation on Mateus Fernandes to deter interested parties. Manchester United are the main party showing interest and are actively considering how to change their midfield.

It is also noted that if West Ham suffers relegation, it would be almost impossible for the club to retain the player.

According to Team Talk, Manchester United are ready to increase their efforts to sign West Ham player Mateus Fernandes this summer. The club's director of football, Jason Wilcox, is reportedly ready to intensify his efforts to sign the 21-year-old and wants to complete a deal quickly because of strong interest in him from the reigning European champions, PSG. United have been watching Fernandes closely all season, with that interest having increased in recent weeks. The club is said to have a strong belief that they can succeed in signing Fernandes, due to his admiration for club captain Bruno Fernandes. West Ham are ready to block all approaches for the player; however, the report adds that if they suffer relegation, West Ham will be unable to prevent their key players, including Fernandes, from leaving.

Manchester United is actively searching for two new central midfielders as the club prepares for Casemiro’s imminent departure on a Bosman deal. Mateus Fernandes is a potential replacement for Casemiro and has been identified as a possible alternative to top target Elliot Anderson. Manchester United are closely monitoring Fernandes. Data analytics experts SciSports believe that Fernandes would benefit from completing a move to Man Utd this summer. The club will likely have the finances to fund a move for Fernandes, given the wages that will be saved from Casemiro’s exit, and this comes amid news that PSG have already initiated contact.

Sources close to the London Stadium told TEAMtalk that West Ham do not foresee losing Fernandes under any circumstances this summer, including if they were to be relegated. The club would demand more than £50 million for Fernandes, based on his age, potential, and his long-term contract that is valid until 2030.

Manchester United and Manchester City both made initial contact with West Ham in January, and INEOS chiefs will continue to track the player before potentially opening talks this summer. West Ham value Fernandes at €65-75m (£56-65m). Sports Boom claim his price tag could rise to £100m if West Ham remain in the Premier League and he performs well next season.

Manchester United are considering a move for West Ham's Mateus Fernandes in their search for a central midfield player. TalkSport reports that the Old Trafford hierarchy are seriously considering signing Fernandes. The player will seek to leave the Hammers in the summer if they are relegated, as he does not want to play in the Championship. West Ham are unlikely to allow Fernandes to leave for significantly less than the €44 million they signed him for. This implies they are likely to demand around twice the midfielder’s Estimated Transfer Value, which is €23.2m.

Manchester United are interested in signing West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes at the end of the season.

According to SportsBoom, Manchester United and Manchester City are both monitoring West Ham United's 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder, Mateus Fernandes. He has been a notable performer for his club during a difficult season. Both Manchester clubs are prepared to make an offer if West Ham are relegated to the Championship. Fernandes' contract is reported to contain a relegation release clause, which is said to have drawn the attention of multiple elite clubs. SportsBoom also claims that West Ham are open to negotiating an exit in January to avoid losing the midfielder for a significantly lower fee in the summer should relegation occur. While a January transfer remains a possibility, any major transfer is considered more likely to happen in the summer, with the outcome depending heavily on West Ham's efforts to avoid relegation. The central midfielder joined West Ham from Southampton in August 2025 for a reported fee of €44 million. Fernandes has 2 goals and 2 assists in 2 Premier League appearances this season and has been capped 20 times for Portugal's U21 team, scoring 3 goals. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €32.00m.
