Taulier of Manchester United, captain Bruno Fernandes has opened the door to a departure.
Everything must disappear…or almost. For several months, the English press has regularly announced that Manchester United wants to part ways with numerous players during the 2024 summer transfer window. A major wash of which only three survivors will remain. Indeed, the Telegraph assures that the residents of Old Trafford have designated Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho as the three untouchable players of the team. For the rest, everything is possible. This is particularly the case for Bruno Fernandes , who is the captain of this team.
A future at the center of the game
Recruited for 55 million euros in the 2020 winter transfer window, the former Sporting CP quickly got everyone in agreement at MU and in England. A leader on and off the field, the Portuguese has established himself as a safe bet while his club has experienced ups and downs. But two years before the end of his contract with the Red Devils (June 2026), the 29-year-old footballer is asking himself questions while he has an option to extend his lease for an additional season. Interviewed by DAZN Portugal , Bruno Fernandes did not rule out anything for his future. His comments are relayed by the Daily Mail.
“I’m not thinking about anything else at the moment. Obviously it's not just up to me, right? A player must always want to be here, but at the same time, you must want him to stay. At the moment, I feel like there's this on both sides. I'm not thinking too much about the future, especially because obviously this season hasn't been at the level I hoped for, either individually or collectively, so far. We could still end the season winning the [FA] Cup. After that, we have a very important Euro coming up.”
The Portuguese does not rule out a departure
He adds: “so, if you want me to be very honest, if I have to think about not continuing in the Premier League , it will only be after the Euro because nothing can distract my attention from the FA Cup final and the Euro, because there is nothing more important than that at the moment (…) To be sincere, if I have to think about continuing in the Premier League or not, it will be after the European Championship. The player does not rule out a departure and will think about his future after the Euro. Important information for interested clubs. In February, Al-Hilal, who was ready to make an XXL offer, had already tested the waters. There is no doubt that the Saudi team will return to the charge.
According to our information, FC Barcelona is also interested in the profile of the Portuguese international. But for the moment, the Mancuniens have not received an offer for their player, explains the BBC . The English media also specifies that the leaders of Manchester United are waiting for “ a significant offer ” to open the door to Bruno Fernandes. Degrease, yes. But not at any cost. According to the specialized site transfermarkt , the market value of the Lusitanian midfielder is 70 million euros. We can think that the English club will ask a similar price for Bruno Fernandes, whose future will be one of the major issues of MU's summer.
