Mateus Fernandes was not intended to be part of West Ham United players returning for pre-season training next Monday

West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes was not intended to be one of the players returning for pre-season training next Monday, according to the BBC.

The West Ham star’s future should become clearer over the next few days, with a formal bid from his suitors anticipated.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both keen on Fernandes, and he has no preference as he prepares to leave the London Stadium.

His agent Jorge Mendes is speaking to both clubs.

West Ham want £80 million for the midfielder, and Spurs are believed to be keen on meeting their demands.

Fernandes will not be the only player leaving West Ham this summer, with Callum Wilson in talks over a move to Brentford.

The English striker is out of contract at the end of today and will be free to join any club from next month.

West Ham will start preparations for life in the Championship next Monday, and the players who did not go to the World Cup are expected to resume.

Others will join much later, but those keen on leaving the club will hope to quickly sort out their future.

Hammers captain Jarrod Bowen will join the others at Rush Green, and the club want him to stay and lead their promotion charge next term.

However, it was recently claimed that he will join Aston Villa this summer.

Major departures are on the cards, and the Hammers have to get things right in the transfer window if they want to return to the Premier League.
