Fernandes&#8217; contract runs until 2030, and there is no termination clause. Although this strengthens West Ham&#8217;s negotiating position, financial pressures appear to increase the likelihood of a sale this summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the official CaughtOffSide app to get all the latest news and updates straight to your phone. above <span role=\"presentation\"><u>apple<\/u><\/span>  &#038; <span role=\"presentation\"><u>Google play<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_lead_race_for_Matheus_Fernandes\"><\/span>Manchester United lead race for Matheus Fernandes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Manchester United have emerged as the frontrunner.
