AC Milan are monitoring West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, but face competition from several other clubs. Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Atletico Madrid are also reportedly monitoring the 21-year-old Portuguese player. According to Sports Boom, Arsenal view Fernandes as a suitable rotation option, and the same source indicates West Ham's asking price for the midfielder is between €65m and €75m. Man City are said to be closely tracking the player's physical development. A transfer for Fernandes, who is under contract until 2030, could become more probable if the London club faces relegation. Fernandes joined West Ham from Southampton in August 2025 for a reported fee of €44 million. In the current Premier League season, he has scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 27 appearances. The midfielder has also been capped 20 times for Portugal's U21 team, scoring 3 goals. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €35.00m. It was reported in January 2026 that a relegation release clause was set at approximately €32 million.
