Manchester United is committed to enhancing their midfield during the summer transfer window, with one of their primary targets identified as West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes. Sky Sports News reports that the Red Devils are preparing to make their first official bid for the player.
West Ham has set Fernandes’s price tag at approximately £80 million. However, United considers this valuation to be inflated and aims to negotiate a more favorable agreement.
The management at West Ham remains confident in the midfielder’s potential, likening it to that of Declan Rice, who was sold to Arsenal in 2023 for £105 million. Despite their relegation from the Premier League, the club is in no hurry to finalize a decision regarding Fernandes’s future.
