PSG faces competition from Manchester United for Mateus Fernandes transfer

After capturing a second consecutive Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain is gearing up for an active summer transfer window. The Parisian club aims to rejuvenate Luis Enrique’s squad for the upcoming season and has been exploring multiple options on the market. One name that has surfaced in recent weeks is Mateus Fernandes. The 21-year-old Portuguese international, who was left out of the 2026 World Cup squad, is expected to leave West Ham. However, PSG may not hold the upper hand in the race for the attacking midfielder.

Manchester United leads the chase for Mateus Fernandes

Manchester United currently appears to be in the strongest position to secure Mateus Fernandes. The West Ham midfielder has reportedly made clear his preference to join the Red Devils, despite interest from Tottenham and several other clubs. As a result, PSG risks being beaten to the signing by the Premier League powerhouse.

PSG makes progress on other targets

In the meantime, PSG continues to advance on other transfer fronts. The club is reportedly in a favorable position for both Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche. The Ivorian international from RB Leipzig and the AS Monaco attacking midfielder are both keen on moving to the double European champions this summer. However, the combined cost of these two transfers could reach around €200 million. The story is still developing.
