Since Luis Campos officiated at Paris Saint-Germain, the Portuguese leader has loved recruiting his compatriots. Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, João Neves and Nuno Mendes are the most telling examples. Well, according to our information, the capital club is targeting another Lusitanian. This is Mateus Fernandes. We are able to tell you that contacts have even been established between the two parties.
Aged 21, this midfielder is a nugget trained by Sporting Portugal who discovered the Premier League in 2024 with Southampton. After the Saints’ relegation to the Championship, West Ham came to recruit him for €44 million last summer. A central attacking midfielder with a good sense of passing, Fernandes (3 goals, 3 assists in 31 Premier League matches) is one of the Hammers’ permanent starters (30 starts). Under contract until 2030, will the Portuguese international (1 selection) join the Parisian Lusitanian contingent?
