According to a report from Foot Mercato, reigning European champions PSG have made contact with the East London side over signing Fernandes.
West Ham would likely want to receive a sizeable profit on the £42 million they paid Southampton for the Portuguese starlet last summer, especially if they achieve Premier League survival.
At just 21-years-old, Fernandes is a player who fits the Reds’ recruitment model well and already boasting two seasons in the Premier League makes a move for the midfielder even more enticing.
Liverpool’s midfield have often times struggled to transition the ball from defence to attack this season, but Fernandes’ ability to hold onto the ball under pressure would make him a useful addition to Slot’s side.
Fernandes has been almost constantly available for the Hammers this season, with a minor thigh injury in January causing his only absence.
