Despite a quiet transfer window so far, Paris Saint-Germain remains active behind the scenes. The Ligue 1 champions are closely monitoring midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham, a player whose stock has risen following his impressive performances. However, securing his signature won’t be straightforward, as English clubs like Tottenham are also vying for his talents, with Roberto De Zerbi leading the charge.
PSG’s squad boasts a strong contingent of Portuguese talent, including Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, and João Neves, but the club is eyeing one more addition: the 21-year-old international from West Ham. Despite his team’s relegation to the Championship, Fernandes has stood out, and his transfer value has skyrocketed to over €90 million this summer.
West Ham’s young star in high demand
Fernandes has become one of the most coveted midfielders in European football this summer. While Manchester United has reportedly engaged in early negotiations, Tottenham Hotspur, now led by Roberto De Zerbi, has also made his signing a priority. The Italian manager, fresh off his stint at Olympique de Marseille, seems determined to add Fernandes to his squad, potentially dealing a blow to his former club.
PSG’s transfer strategy takes shape
The Parisian giants are not limiting their interest to Fernandes. Reports suggest they are also tracking Crysencio Summerville, a West Ham attacker currently competing in the FIFA World Cup. With the Ligue 1 season approaching and other clubs strengthening their rosters, Luis Enrique’s team must act decisively to reinforce their squad and maintain their competitive edge.
