Big spenders are circling. This Sunday, news emerged from England that Real Madrid is eyeing Bruno Fernandes. The price tag? Over 100 million euros.
Both the Daily Star and Express revealed the news. According to the Daily Star, Portuguese midfielder Fernandes has been scouted by Real Madrid reps all season. Recently, they’ve been at every Manchester United game. He’s seen as a potential long-term replacement for 40-year-old Luka Modric, whose contract is ending.
This creates a dilemma for the club. Coach Ruben Amorim doesn’t want to lose his captain and most influential player. But the club needs cash. Remember, they made big cuts recently and announced plans for a new stadium.
Fernandes is contracted to Old Trafford until 2027, with an option for an extra year. He’s scored 95 goals in 227 games for the Red Devils. This season, he’s the team’s top scorer with eight goals in 28 Premier League games.
