Mateus Fernandes has been heavily linked with a move away from West Ham United ahead of the summer transfer window.
Per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are interested in signing Mateus Fernandes, and they will compete with Arsenal and Manchester United for his signature.
West Ham United have been related to the championship, and the 21-year-old will look to move on and join a big club this summer. He will not want to compete in the second division of English football next season. Joining a big club like Real Madrid will be quite exciting for the youngster.
According to Fichajes, Jose Mourinho has urged the Spanish club to sign the 21-year-old Portuguese international. Real Madrid needs more control and composure in the middle of the park, and Fernandes would be the ideal investment for them. He’s a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance. Regular football in La Liga could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. The opportunity to play for the biggest club in the world will be hard to turn down for him, and he would get to work with one of the best managers of this generation as well.
Arsenal and Manchester United could use Fernandes
Arsenal and Manchester United are also keeping tabs on his situation. Arsenal could use an upgrade on Christian Norgaard, and the 21-year-old could be a superb option for them. He is a young player with great potential, and he has already established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League. He will only improve and become a star in the future.
At Manchester United, he could be the ideal partner for Kobbie Mainoo. Manchester United have secured Champions League qualification, and they need more control in the middle of the park. They will be up against elite teams in the Champions League, and someone like Fernandez will help them dominate in the midfield.
It will be interesting to see where the 21-year-old eventually ends up.
