West Ham United will demand a significant transfer fee for midfielder Mateus Fernandes, according to Tuesday's edition of The Times. Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly interested in acquiring the 21-year-old playmaker. Clubs have been informed that the Portuguese international's price tag will be in the region of £80 million.
Currently, the London club is reluctant to sell the Portuguese international, but they may be compelled to do so to avoid breaching financial regulations following their relegation from the Premier League a few weeks ago.
Fernandes joined West Ham from Southampton for £38 million in 2025. His former club is expected to receive 15 percent of any future sale of the player.
Fernandes featured in 36 Premier League matches last season, scoring three goals.
