While PSG has yet to finalize any new arrivals during this summer window, the club is actively working on several high-profile leads. At the top of the list is West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes. However, the Paris-based club is not alone in this pursuit, as several English heavyweights, including a Tottenham side now led by former OM manager Roberto De Zerbi, are also in the running.
Coming off a second consecutive Champions League triumph, PSG arguably boasts the most talented squad in world football. Nevertheless, Luis Enrique knows that standing still is not an option. With rival clubs strengthening and potential departures looming, the France champions must inject fresh energy into their ranks to maintain their dominance.
Mateus Fernandes emerges as a midfield priority
The Parisians already feature a strong Portuguese contingent with players like Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, and João Neves, but the recruitment of their compatriots may not be over. Mateus Fernandes has caught the eye of the Paris front office. Despite West Ham falling into the second division, the 21-year-old midfielder was a standout performer, and his market value has soared to over €90M.
Tottenham and De Zerbi enter the race
The battle for Mateus Fernandes is intensifying, and PSG will need to move quickly. Manchester United has been in discussions with both West Ham and the player’s representatives for several weeks. Adding more pressure is Tottenham, where Roberto De Zerbi is keen to secure the young talent. Only a few months after leaving Marseille, the Italian tactician could potentially thwart the plans of his former rivals in Paris. Furthermore, PSG is also monitoring West Ham attacker Crysencio Summerville, who is currently participating in the World Cup.
