Manchester United remain in a strong position in their pursuit of Matheus Fernandes, despite recent speculation linking the midfielder with a move elsewhere.
Current reports indicate that Real Madrid’s interest has not progressed beyond early discussions, with no advanced negotiations taking place at this stage. Fernandes is believed to favour a switch to Old Trafford, and it is understood that personal terms have already been discussed, with a verbal agreement reportedly in place between the player and United.
West Ham are said to be determined to retain the talented midfielder and continue efforts to convince him to stay. However, reports suggest Fernandes has already communicated his preferred destination, giving United a significant advantage in the race for his signature.
As it stands, Manchester United are reportedly the only club actively holding talks over a potential transfer. The proposed deal is believed to include a guaranteed £50 million payment, with an additional £5 million tied to performance-related bonuses.
While rumours continue to circulate around the situation, United are said to be relaxed about the process and confident that they remain in control of negotiations. With the summer transfer window gathering momentum, Fernandes’ future is expected to remain a major talking point in the weeks ahead.
