Bruno Fernandes has saved Manchester United many occasions this season, but now the club is bracing a £ 90 million offer from Real Madrid for their captain after his great displays
The Captain Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United originated as a target of £ 90 million for Real Madrid after his heroic deeds for Ruben Amorim despite their turbulent campaign. The Portuguese playmaker has been one of the radiant lights of the team in a difficult season and he has now attracted the attention of the Spanish giants.
Fernandes has 16 goals in all competitions, with 13 assists. The 30-year-old has seven goals in his last seven games and his performances did not go unnoticed. According to The Daily Star, Madrid Scouts have been present in recent months at “Almost every United Match” and Fernandes have identified as a perfect fit for the Carlo Ancelotti team.
He could be a successor to the long-term Madrid midfielder Luka Modric, who no longer has a contract with the Bernabeu at the end of the season and will turn 40 in September.
Modric is one of Madrid's biggest players in recent history and has an incredible record of trophies, but the club will have to think about replacing him.
It is claimed that even if Modric would sign an extension of a year – with the ex -Totham man still looks like he could do a job at the highest level – it is clear that Madrid knows that his time in the club reaches its end.
Fernandes' contract with United has only left two years to walk this summer and United can be brought into a difficult position if they receive an offer for their talisman.
It is also understood that United boss Ruben Amorim is extremely reluctant to lose his star player, but the difficult financial position of the club and the need to make cuts can force them to consider a large selection.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has already made 200 employees superfluous this year and the legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson from his £ 200m per year.
The report says that United can be confronted with a “dilemma” about Fernandes, who has worn the club in recent years after they have helped them win two trophies – the Carabao Cup in 2022-23 and the FA Cup last season.
Fernandes, who scored 95 goals from 277 United performances, is not the only Premier League star Madrid haunting for next season. The men of Ancelotti have been chasing a movement for Liverpool right back Alexander-Arnold for months after seeing an £ 20 million bid in January.
Madrid is supposed to be in conversations to sign the 24-year-old on a free transfer this summer after his Liverpool contract has expired.
