Nottingham Forest have been among the clubs, who have been showing an interested in the Portuguese midfielder.

His performances have attracted significant Premier League interest, with Aston Villa, West Ham and Leeds United targeting Fernandes, and Forest’s move adds another twist to the transfer saga.

Southampton are bracing for multiple bids, with Fernandes likely to become one of the club’s most high-profile departures this summer.
