Man Utd target Bruno Fernandes to be swooped by Barcelona to complete a complicated transfer with Valencia according to reports from Spain.

However, Barcelona do not appear to be keen to hold on to Fernandes for too long; at least for this season. Instead, they intend on immediately sending him on loan; Thus, completing one of the most exhaustive and complicated transfers with La Liga side Valencia.

According to Super Deporte, Barcelona have entered the race to sign Bruno Fernandes with the sole intention of sending him on loan to Valencia. The report claims that Valencia would then be willing to part with Rodrigo. The idea reportedly even has the seal of approval from Valencia manager, Albert Celades.

With Suarez out with injury, Barcelona are keen to add to their attacking options. However, they are unwilling to let go off Nelson Semedo, the player that Valencia had originally demanded. This has forced Barcelona to attempt this very complicated transfer that will require huge sums of money and Fernandes’ approval as well.

It does seem a bit odd that Barcelona would pay around £65m just to send the player on loan. However, should the move take place, this will certainly be one of the most bizarre transfers that have ever taken place.
