of west ham united Mateus Fernandes is on Jose Mourinho’s hit list as he prepares to rebuild at Real Madrid.

AS report The Portuguese manager likes the West Ham midfielder and will consider signing him this summer.

Real Madrid rebuilding

The newspaper reports that Jose Mourinho wants to see ‘eleven loyal warriors’ on the pitch in the team he is envisioning for his second spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.

He is prioritizing the common good over personal glory and has already prepared a list of suggestions for players to sign. While President Florentino Pérez is planning a big, signing of the Galactico, Mourinho has other ideas.

West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes is one of the players on their list after becoming ‘one of the sensations’ of the Premier League this season.

Despite West Ham falling short in the Championship, the 21-year-old has earned praise across Europe for his performances. The allegation makes a move ‘convenient’, with the Hammers needing a sale of €150m this summer.

The midfielder is also represented by Jorge Mendes, which should help matters. He has been enjoying an improving relationship with the Spanish giants in recent months.

West Ham wants £80 million

Fernandes is also on the shortlist at Liverpool and Arsenal, with his price tag set at £80million. Reports have also linked PSG with a bid.

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid want to spend it or not. But Florentino Perez has promised big spending in the summer if he wins election on Sunday.

Whether Mateus Fernandes fits into that idea, or would it instead be a direct request from Jose Mourinho, is debatable. For now, AS only say he is on the Portuguese manager’s list if he returns to the Bernabeu as expected.

This will be determined later this week, when Real Madrid’s elections are completed. Reports in Portugal indicate that a €15m deal has already been agreed to take over Mourinho from Benfica.

After that, it’s likely the transfer work will begin in earnest, and the West Ham star could find himself in the middle of it.

newcastle united Still watching closely as Jose Mourinho once again finds himself at the center of a growing managerial noise across Europe.

how did it start casual premier league speculation In recent weeks it has taken on a different dimension.

Reports linking Mourinho to Real Madrid have added weight to the talks, giving new impetus to a story that had until then largely followed a predictable cycle.

Real Madrid’s interest changes the story

Developments in Spain have led to an unexpected rise in the situation around Mourinho. Real Madrid are assessing his future, and the Portuguese manager has emerged as a serious option in those discussions.

This has naturally diverted attention elsewhere. When a club of that stature enters the frame, every previous link is revisited. Newcastle is one of those names that keeps coming up.

according to gameThe Magpies remain attentive to Mourinho’s situation. However, the reporting does not suggest active talks or any defined move, only stating that Newcastle are monitoring developments.

Inside Mourinho’s situation at Benfica

To understand why the story remains open, it helps to look at what is happening in Lisbon.

José Mourinho arrived at Benfica in September, signing a deal until 2027. Since then, he has quickly become central to the club’s long-term plans.

Work is already underway for the next season. This week there have been meetings at his training center with Mourinho, president Rui Costa and the football structure on the strategy for 2026/27.

The plan is not short term. Benfica wants Mourinho to lead structural rebuild The aim is to bring back the domestic title to the club. Their last league success came in 2022/23, and the current campaign has fallen short of expectations.

Renovation plans and contract details to view

Jose Mourinho’s current contract runs until 2027, but Benfica are already preparing an offer to extend that deal. The intention is to add another year or two, cementing their long-term commitment.

However, there is a current that keeps the door slightly open. Mourinho could leave immediately after the season ends for a fee of around €3m (£2.6m).

That detail ensures that interest from elsewhere cannot be completely ruled out. This also explains why clubs continue to monitor the situation, even if no concrete steps have been taken.

What does this mean for Newcastle United

Newcastle remains part of the wider picture, but not at the center of it.

The Portuguese framing is at least consistent. The club is alert, aware of the developments and is keeping Mourinho under observation. This is far from being ahead of the race.

With Real Madrid’s interest adding weight to the story and Benfica working hard to secure their manager long-term, the situation is evolving.

Mexico manager Javier Aguirre has said he encouraged Jose Mourinho to sign West Ham United’s Edson Alvarez for Fenerbahçe in August 2025.

The national team boss gave an interview to journalist George Van Rankin. record He released his comments in Mexico, where he said that Mourinho had called him to ask about the 28-year-old.

West Ham allowed the midfielder to join Fenerbahçe on loan with an option to buy.

When Alvarez joined the Turkish club, Mourinho was in charge. However, he parted ways with the manager just days after the Mexico international arrived in Istanbul.

The Portuguese coach returned to the bench a month later when Benfica appointed him as manager in September.

West Ham player made offer to Fenerbahçe

Aguirre revealed that the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager had contacted him to find out more about Álvarez.

He took charge of Mexico for the third time in July 2024 and promoted the West Ham player as his captain. The midfielder has been a regular under the manager when available for selection.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Aguirre told Mourinho to move ahead with the signing of Álvarez.

“Mourinho calls me, he calls me on the phone. He says: ‘Javier, they are offering me Edson, you know him, you have included him in the national team, what position does he play?’ ‘He plays like this and that.’ ‘What do you think? Can he compete?’ Absolutely right. Take him away,” He said.

“Then Edson called me: ‘Thank you, Mou told me he talked to you.’ He signed Álvarez and after one match, he sacked Mourinho.

Our opinion: What’s next for the West Ham-owned player

Edson Alvarez has played 1,125 minutes in 17 matches for Fenerbahçe so far but recently underwent surgery. Alvarez is expected to regain full fitness for the World Cup, but his future needs to be clarified after this season.

In November, witness the game Covered Claims That the Turkish club has a €22m purchase option. Fenerbahce finds this figure ‘excessive’.

On February 7th, we news broadcast from Türkiye In January Fenerbahçe tried to send him back to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. This clearly did not please the former Ajax man.

Fenerbahce are unlikely to make Alvarez’s stay permanent for at least €22m. Therefore, he will have to return to the Premier League team, and both the player and West Ham will have to make a decision in the summer.

West Ham United were one of the clubs linked with a move for Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup during the January transfer window, but the deal never went ahead after Jose Mourinho intervened to keep the player.

This is according to a Portuguese newspaper to ballIt is reported that the 21-year-old player seriously considered leaving Lisbon earlier this year due to limited playing time. However, the Benfica manager blocked the move to West Ham after assessing the player’s potential and the team’s needs for the second half of the season.

Schjelderup had been used only sporadically up to that point, which opened the door for several clubs to explore a transfer. West Ham was one of the teams monitoring the situation, along with Parma, Roma, Juventus and Besiktas. Club Brugge came closest to completing a deal.

According to the report, the Belgian side managed to reach an agreement with Schjelderup for a permanent transfer. However, negotiations with Benfica ultimately broke down, preventing the move from going ahead.

Interest from West Ham and other clubs

West Ham’s presence on the list of interested clubs reflects their continued search for attacking depth, particularly in wide areas. We covered his alleged interest at the time And now the Portuguese press has confirmed it. The Hammers have regularly looked at emerging European talents in recent transfer windows, and Sjelderup fits that profile. West Ham also started talks.

The Norwegian winger joined Benfica from FC Nordsjælland in January 2023 and is considered one of the most technically gifted young attackers in the club’s squad. Comfortable on both sides, he is known for his close control, acceleration and ability to attack defenders in one-on-one situations.

Due to his limited minutes at the start of this season, a loan move was also discussed with several clubs. Nevertheless, Benfica never fully opened the door for an exit after Mourinho made his position clear.

what happens next

For now, Schjelderup remains at Benfica and is expected to continue to fight for a bigger role in the team.

However, the level of interest over the winter suggests his position may be worth a look. Clubs such as West Ham have already been alerted to his availability. If his playing time in Lisbon remains limited, interest could easily return.

Benfica would obviously sell if the right offer came, so this is a pause rather than a pause. It remains to be seen whether West Ham will offer that offer.

The Hammers need to secure their Premier League status first.

There aren’t many people at Tottenham Hotspur who will fondly remember the magic of Jose Mourinho. But Troy Parrott certainly does.

It can be said that his latest comments at Voetbal International make some sense. He has nothing but positive things to say about Mourinho’s time at Tottenham.

Sport Witness has already covered the comments This week from Striker. He explained how he chose Tottenham over Everton, Celtic and others at the start of his career.

tottenham chance

Parrott joined Tottenham’s academy from Irish club Belvedere in 2017 at the age of 15. At that time he was compared to Robbie Keane and Harry Kane.

Instead, he would struggle to establish himself in the first team, and would make only four senior appearances for Spurs in all competitions before leaving permanently.

However, there was one manager who showed confidence in him. That was Jose Mourinho.

He handed the youngster his Premier League debut during a 5–0 win over Burnley in December 2019. They then gave him three more presentations for a total of four.

mourinho support

It means the Portuguese boss was a big part of the 24-year-old’s career. This is something they would be happy to accept.

“It was very special to work with one of the best trainers in the world,” he said.

“Mourinho talked to me a lot, which made me feel a hundred times better. A manager with his status can easily only focus on the basic players. But he is not like that.

“Mourinho also made time for the youth reserves. I saw that he wanted to help me with my development. I see it with a very good feeling.”

Of course, Tottenham fans are unlikely to share positive sentiments about Mourinho’s time at their club.

They see it as a failed experiment that ended the club’s progressive era under Mauricio Pochettino without delivering the silverware it was designed to bring.
