Development

Atlético, Villa, Inter, Juventus and Napoli linked with Fernandes

Mateus Fernandes' suitor list has reportedly grown, although this is still a list of interested clubs rather than a bidding war.

West Ham Zone, citing Caught Offside, names Atlético Madrid, Aston Villa, Inter, Juventus and Napoli among the clubs interested in the midfielder. Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are also listed, while Manchester United are said to have accelerated talks.

The same account puts West Ham's valuation at £43.3m to £51.9m and expects it to fall after relegation. West Ham Zone says Fernandes is under contract until 2029. Plenty of names, then, but this report does not describe a bid or an agreement.
