Bruno Fernandes is reportedly close to joining Manchester United despite interest from other English heavyweights.
Bruno Fernandes is one of the wanted players across Europe currently. The midfielder managed to muster 32 goals and clinch 18 assists last season which gathered the attention of some of the European heavyweights over the last few months.
The Portuguese International is wanted by the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur. According to Pietro Balzano Prota – the director of Italian outlet Radio Rossonera, the Red Devils have jumped above their rivals to land him in the summer transfer window.
The report claimed that the agreement has been reached by the player and both the clubs. In the previous reports, his price has been quoted around 70 million, a price which should be able to secure his signature. The Portugal International was part of the squad which lifted the UEFA Nations League yesterday.
Tottenham Hotspur emerged as favourites to land him, but Manchester United are bound to lure him to Old Trafford, as per the source. The likes of Liverpool and Manchester City also showed interest on the midfielder, although no drastic decisions have been taken on his transfer.
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bolster his midfield line in order to qualify for the Champions League in the next season. United getting one over City is huge news, if the reports are indeed true, though, and fans of the Old Trafford outfit will definitely relish seeing the goalscoring midfielder in their colours.
Paul Pogba and Fred have failed to light up Old Trafford following their moves. Bruno Fernandes fits Solskjaer’s bill because he is hardworking and has the ability to score long rangers for fun.
