Paris Saint-Germain are attempting to snatch a major target from Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Parisian club has strongly entered the race for Mateus Fernandes, West Ham United’s Portuguese midfielder, who is considered one of the Red Devils’ top priorities for the midfield department.
With the transfer window approaching, Fernandes’ name is being mentioned more and more in the European market.
The 21-year-old has been among West Ham’s most prominent players this season, recording four goals and three assists in 36 games, despite the London club’s difficult situation, which is seriously at risk of relegation.
Initial interest in the Portuguese midfielder came from Manchester United, who see him as an ideal profile for the future of the central division and as a long-term partner for captain Bruno Fernandes.
However, according to reports from ” The Athletic “, PSG has entered the race strongly and aims to strengthen the midfield with young talent.

On the other hand, West Ham are not expected to let him go easily.
The English club transferred Fernandes last summer from Southampton for around 44 million euros and the player has a contract until 2030.
According to British media, his transfer fee could reach 60 million euros.
If West Ham confirm relegation from the Premier League, Mateus Fernandes is expected to be one of the most talked about names of the summer transfer window.
