Mourinho names Mateus Fernandes as Desired Real Madrid Target

Jose Mourinho said he would like to see Mateus Fernandes join Real Madrid if Florentino Perez wins the club presidency. The suggestion targets West Ham United midfielder Fernandes.

Mourinho, currently Real Madrid's head coach, highlighted Fernandes as a potential midfield addition. He described the player as a high‑valued talent.

Fernandes, rated at around £80 million, has impressed with his performances for West Ham United. His profile fits the type of player Mourinho seeks for Real Madrid.

Florentino Perez's upcoming presidential election will determine the club's strategic direction. A victory would give him authority to approve new signings.

Should Perez secure the presidency, Real Madrid could pursue Fernandes in the upcoming transfer window. The move would bolster the Spanish side's midfield options.
