Real Madrid: Mateus Fernandes impresses José Mourinho

A breakout star at West Ham this season, the player has also been on PSG’s radar for several weeks. Fernandes is unlikely to remain in the English second division, but prising him away will require a hefty fee: almost €100 million. He is still under contract until 2030.

🚨 JUST IN: José Mourinho wants to see 11 "LOYAL WARRIORS" on the pitch for Real Madrid.

He wants players who put the interest of the team over their personal interest.

The coach believes Mateus Fernandes is a PERFECT fit for this. @jfelixdiaz pic.twitter.com/kEcGN4xRM2
