Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a club-record £85 million deal to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, beating out strong competition from Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur have successfully hijacked Manchester United’s pursuit to secure a blockbuster agreement for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
The North London club effectively won the intense transfer race by submitting a superior financial proposal. The highly-rated 21-year-old Portuguese international is now prepared to finalize a historic move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The comprehensive transfer package is valued at a monumental £85 million, comfortably shattering Tottenham’s previous club-record signing fee.
While Manchester United pushed heavily to acquire the maestro, the Red Devils ultimately withdrew from active negotiations, unwilling to overpay.
Furthermore, Real Madrid manager José Mourinho reportedly admired Fernandes but encountered internal board resistance regarding the substantial price tag.
