Mateus Fernandes reappears as one of the players with the most possibilities of becoming the new Real Madrid's signing to reinforce the midfield. The 21-year-old Portuguese has become one of the names that José Mourinho likes the most, who does not consider the planning closed despite the movements already made by the white club.

The operation, however, is not in an advanced stage. At the Bernabéu, they understand that the arrival of Bernardo Silva already covers an important need in the base of the play, so the signing of another midfielder would only make sense if there is a relevant departure in the squad.

Mateus Fernandes, a request from José Mourinho for the midfield

The Portuguese coach has brought up the name of Mateus Fernandes for a clear reason: he fits into that profile of a modern midfielder, capable of sustaining the team with the ball, accelerating circulation, and breaking lines when the game demands it. He is not just a holding midfielder. He also has range, good reading of the game, and an ability to get into interior zones.

José Mourinho particularly values his versatility. He can play as a central midfielder, as an interior, and even in a double pivot with freedom to advance. This adaptability makes him an attractive player for a project that seeks legs, technical quality, and room for growth.

But Fabrizio Romano points out a problem: his signing would require a very high investment. The market environment mentions a valuation close to 98 million euros, a figure that requires careful consideration. This is not a cheap bet or a market opportunity, but a top-level economic operation.

West Ham United sets the price and awaits significant offers

West Ham United knows they have a highly valued asset and do not want to rush. The English club is willing to consider proposals but does not contemplate an exit for an amount less than what they consider fair for a player with a present and a bright future.

The club's sporting situation could also play a role. After a very difficult season, the possibility of a significant sale gains strength, although the intention is to maximize the income. Mateus Fernandes is one of the most valuable assets in the squad, and his departure could help reorganize the project.

Furthermore, it's not only the interest from Real Madrid. Several Premier League clubs are closely monitoring his progress, which could raise the bidding even more. In England, he is seen as a midfielder ready to take on responsibilities immediately, complicating any attempt to negotiate for a lower price.

The fit of Mateus Fernandes after Bernardo Silva's arrival

The signing of Bernardo Silva changes the landscape. The Portuguese player is expected to play a key role in ball distribution, sharing responsibilities with more physical profiles like Tchouaméni. This arrival reduces the urgency to go to the market for another playmaker.

Therefore, within the white club, it is not considered an immediate priority. The idea is to observe how the summer progresses, evaluate possible sales, and decide if there is economic and sporting room to activate an operation of this magnitude.

Nevertheless, the name of Mateus Fernandes does not disappear. José Mourinho sees him as a top-level option to raise internal competition and provide more options to the team. His youth, ability to adapt to different styles, and progress in England keep him on the radar.

The outcome will depend on the market. If West Ham United maintains its stance and demands close to 98 million, the operation will be very challenging. But if significant departures occur or the financial landscape changes, Mateus Fernandes could become one of the main protagonists of the summer.
