The player is scheduled for a medical with Southampton today, and the transfer is expected to be officially announced tomorrow.

Monday’s updates from *Record* and a new report by *O Jogo* shed light on the transfer of the 20-year-old midfielder to Southampton.

The player departed Portugal yesterday to finalize his transfer to St Mary’s. It’s anticipated that he will complete his medical with Southampton today, with the official announcement of his transfer expected on Tuesday.

The deal agreed upon by Russell Martin’s team is valued at approximately €15 million, plus an additional €5 million in bonuses, which is a bit higher than previously reported. The report suggests that Sporting Lisbon is confident of reaching a total of €20 million from the transfer, given that the bonuses are likely to be achieved. Additionally, Sporting Lisbon will earn 10% of the profit from any future sale.

*O Jogo* confirms that the Portugal U21 player arrived in England on Sunday. Both *Record* and *O Jogo* mention that Fernandes visited the club’s facilities yesterday to bid farewell to his teammates before the move to Southampton.

Fernandes, who came through Sporting’s academy and was promoted to the senior team in 2022, has made 10 appearances for Sporting’s first team and spent the previous season on loan at Estoril Praia.
