Mateus Fernandes, the 21-year-old West Ham midfielder (under contract until 2030) and Portugal international (1 cap), has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain. Foot Mercato reported on Friday that PSG has made a move for him and his teammate Crysencio Summerville (a 24-year-old winger from the Netherlands). The English club has reportedly already set a price for both players.
“Luis Campos has made contact with the London club’s management”
“Under contract until 2030, Mateus Fernandes naturally has many suitors in Europe. To fend off the competition, Luis Campos has made contact with the London club’s management, who have already informed him of the asking price: €80 million.
The other Parisian option leads to a very attractive profile: Crysencio Summerville. The dazzling 24-year-old Dutch left winger, currently playing in the World Cup with the Oranje, was one of the very few bright spots in the Hammers’ disastrous season, along with his Portuguese teammate. West Ham’s asking price of around €50 million has deterred more than one suitor. Here again, preliminary discussions have already taken place between the key figure in Parisian transfer dealings and the English club.
“They’ll have to open their checkbook and match the €130 million.” “€130 million in total.”
While no firm offer has yet been submitted by the capital club, the interest in both players is concrete and very real. If PSG wants to achieve its goal and secure this double reinforcement, it will have to open its checkbook and meet the €130 million total asking price.
Nothing is impossible; these are talented players, and PSG will undoubtedly be looking to strengthen its squad during the transfer window. Even if it’s inevitably difficult with a team that has just won the Champions League two times in a row. The idea could be to look for more young players, with talent to hone and a great hunger for titles.
Fernandes and Summerville are possibilities. However, there could also be other options. The Parisian transfer window remains far too uncertain to be certain. We’ll have to wait for concrete offers. Here, the prices being discussed seem very high.
Especially since West Ham is being relegated to the second division. This raises the possibility of pressure being applied to lower the transfer fee. This might be the case here, given PSG’s proven track record in negotiations in recent years. However, the Parisian club could also simply be pursuing other options.
