Fernandes would be one of West Ham's largest signings, following Sebastien Haller (£45m) and Lucas Paqueta (£51m). Southampton initially wanted at least £50 million for Fernandes, who joined the club for £12 million last year.
The deal was confirmed by a journalist, who revealed the agreed fee on social media. The Portugal Under-21 international has played 46 times for Southampton, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.
Fernandes was a standout player for Southampton during the 2024/2025 season, despite the club's relegation from the Premier League. His desire to move on from the club was clear after Southampton's relegation. Now, Fernandes will join West Ham in the top division, bringing fresh talent to the team.
