"Manchester United" and "Manchester City" are monitoring West Ham's 21-year-old central midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
Idman.Biz reports that journalist Ekrem Konur told the Sports Boom online portal about this.
According to the source, the Portuguese footballer's contract has an early termination clause that will take effect if West Ham are relegated from the English Premier League. West Ham understands that if they are relegated and the clause takes effect, their negotiating position will weaken. Therefore, the London club believes that selling Fernandes in January is the most effective way to protect his value.
This season, the Portuguese has made 24 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing three assists. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is 32 million euros.
After 22 rounds of the Premier League, West Ham have 17 points and are in 18th place.
