🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨 #MUFC, as reported for weeks, remain in advanced talks and negotiations for Mateus Fernandes. Despite the £80m asking price reported by @FabrizioRomano, sources close to the situation indicate this figure was briefed out by #WHU as part of their negotiating strategy. It is common transfer practice for clubs to push higher valuations publicly and create the perception of multiple interested parties. As reported consistently by myself and @SullyTalkz, Manchester United remain the ONLY club currently engaged in active negotiations with West Ham for the 21-year-old midfielder. United have made it clear they will not pay more than £60m all-inclusive. Sources close to the player's camp remain confident a deal can be reached, with Fernandes keen on the move and prioritising Manchester United. Let me also make something clear. Both myself and @SullyTalkz are Manchester United supporters and correspondents. We are not interested in using Manchester United for clicks, engagement, or sensational headlines. Our objective has always been to provide the fanbase with the most accurate information available from our sources, even when it goes against the popular narrative. United would never have entered advanced negotiations if West Ham's genuine expectation was £80m. With financial pressure mounting at West Ham following relegation, increasing pressure on the wage bill, and a need to generate funds, there is a growing belief that a realistic compromise can be reached. My information remains unchanged: 🔴 Manchester United are the only club negotiating. 🔴 Fernandes wants Manchester United. 🔴 United's valuation is around £60m all-in. 🔴 Negotiations are ongoing. Ignore the noise. Watch the actions, not the headlines. #MUFC #ManchesterUnited #WHUFC #Transfers
