West Ham United will have to sell some of its top players this summer. Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes could both be on their way to Paris Saint-Germain.

The journalists Santi Aouna and Sébastien Denis have reported that "PSG has made contact with West Ham to find out the exit conditions for Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes. The Hammers are demanding 50M€ for Summerville and 80M€ for Fernandes.

"Discussions have also taken place with the entourages of both players. Very strong competition for Matheus Fernandes. Real Madrid and Manchester United & PL clubs interested."

One of the Premier League teams rumored to want Fernandes is Arsenal. It would sure be tempting to go to the Premier League winners, but a move to the Champions League winners, PSG, could be better for Fernandes.

Fernandes and Summerville both starred for West Ham

The French side defeated the Gunners in the final of European soccer's premier competition this season. PSG have some top midfielders, including the Portuguese internationals, Vitinha and João Neves. Fernandes made his debut for Portugal this year, but was left out of their World Cup roster.

West Ham fans would rather see Summerville move to PSG than to a Premier League rival. The same goes for Summerville, who has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur. Along with PSG, Olympique Marseille, AC Milan, and AS Roma are also interested in the Dutchman.

Fernandes made his debut for Portugal in a 2-0 victory over the USMNT at the start of April. Summerville missed that international break through injury. However, he has now played in both of the Netherlands' warm-up friendlies for the World Cup. He is expected to be a key part of Ronald Koeman's side.

Fans can watch Summerville in action for the Netherlands this Sunday, as they face Japan in their opening game of the tournament.
