Paris Saint-Germain may not have completed any signings yet this summer, but the club is actively pursuing several targets. Among them is West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, a 21-year-old Portuguese international whose impressive performances have caught the attention of multiple top European clubs.
The Parisians are not the only ones interested in Fernandes, as Tottenham Hotspur—under the guidance of former Olympique de Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi—is also in the hunt. With Manchester United also reportedly monitoring the player, the competition for his signature is heating up, potentially pushing his transfer value beyond €90 million this summer.
Why PSG needs fresh talent
Despite securing back-to-back Champions League victories, Paris Saint-Germain recognizes the need for strategic reinforcements. The club faces the dual challenge of rivals strengthening their squads while potentially losing key players, making squad renewal a priority under Luis Enrique.
The growing interest in Mateus Fernandes
The young Portuguese midfielder has stood out even as West Ham suffered relegation last season. His versatility and technical ability make him a prime target, with multiple Premier League clubs vying for his signature. Meanwhile, Paris is also reportedly monitoring another West Ham asset, Crysencio Summerville, who is currently competing in the FIFA World Cup.
De Zerbi’s potential move raises eyebrows
The possibility of Roberto De Zerbi—a former OM manager—targeting a player for PSG adds an intriguing twist to the transfer saga. Just months after leaving the French club, the Italian coach could now influence a deal that would benefit his new team, Tottenham.
