Competing for central role: Real Madrid in process for Mateusz Fernandes
Real Madrid are in the running for Portugal star Mateus Fernandes. With the fall of West Ham United, the young midfielder is eagerly awaiting new opportunities in his career. However, while Madrid and other leading clubs could not justify the huge price set by West Ham, Mourinho showed strong interest.
Matyassu Fernandes name has become a hotcake in world football now. The Portuguese youngster has impressed with his consistent performances in the central role for West Ham United and has now become one of the most sought-after players in the UP market. Recently, reports emerged in the Spanish media that Real Madrid were also in the running for Fernandes. The team's new coach Jose Mourinho is said to have targeted Matyassu as his first summer signing.
Fernandes is being eyed for a central role as Madrid are currently in need of a strong midfield. Fernandes has been in commendable form for West Ham with 10 goal contributions in 45 appearances. But along with their club's relegation, there has been much speculation about his future. With Fernandes now ready for a new club, West Ham are arguing that they will command a huge price - around £80million - and many clubs have backed out.
With the desire to sign Police, it is reported that famous clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested. But if the club doesn't cut the price, chances are high that this transfer will be a bit of a nightmare. On the other hand, it seems that Madrid have also kept Chelsea player Enzo Fernandes on the transfer list. But for him there is a situation to spend a lot of money.
