Mateus Fernandes, Manchester United, West Ham United
1 June 2026

Manchester United have reportedly accelerated talks for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes as they plan a midfield rebuild after returning to the Champions League. Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Inter, Juventus and Napoli are also monitoring the 21-year-old.

West Ham’s relegation has increased the chances of a sale, even though Fernandes is under contract until 2030 and has no release clause. United see him as a long-term option beside Bruno Fernandes and are trying to move early.

Dzenan Pejcinovic, Wolfsburg, Benfica

Dzenan Pejcinovic is attracting interest from Benfica, Freiburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt after Wolfsburg’s relegation from the Bundesliga. The striker is valued at well over €20 million after a strong first full top-flight season.

Wolfsburg would only consider a major offer for one of their few bright spots, despite relegation pressure and expected squad exits. Pejcinovic scored 12 goals in 34 competitive matches and remains inclined to stay in Germany.

Noah Darvich, Stuttgart, Elversberg

Noah Darvich is reportedly set to leave Stuttgart on loan and join promoted Elversberg for first-team minutes next season. Werder Bremen, Freiburg, Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin had also shown interest in the highly rated attacking midfielder.

Stuttgart still view Darvich as a long-term talent after his strong reserve-team season, but want him to gain senior minutes elsewhere. Elversberg’s calmer environment and new top-flight status have made them the preferred destination this summer.
