Bruno Fernandes is considering leaving Manchester United: Bayern Munich are ready to sign the Red Devils' captain.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is considering a move to Bayern Munich amid a loss of faith in the sporting project at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, is facing the possibility of leaving Old Trafford in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to reports from England, Bayern Munich has emerged as the leading candidate to secure the Portuguese midfielder's signature, as he is no longer keen on the Red Devils' rebuilding project.
The rift between Bruno Fernandes and Manchester United.
Despite remaining an indispensable part of the squad with 5 goals and 9 assists in 20 appearances this season, Bruno Fernandes is reportedly running out of patience at Manchester United. The i Paper reports that many teammates believe the 31-year-old midfielder has grown weary after years of the team constantly changing direction without making significant progress.
Fernandes' frustration also stems from his feeling of disrespect from the club's management. In an interview with Canal11, the midfielder publicly revealed that Manchester United had tried to sell him to a club in the Saudi Pro League. Despite receiving significant interest from the Middle East, the MU captain still prioritized playing in top-level European football to seek the major trophies that were missing from his career.
Bayern Munich and their plan to recruit experienced stars.
Bayern Munich are currently closely monitoring the situation of the midfielder born in 1994. The German club believes that Fernandes' character and creativity are the perfect fit for their ambitions to conquer the Champions League. In fact, the Allianz Arena team has no hesitation in recruiting stars over 30 from the Premier League, similar to the case of striker Harry Kane.
Transfer fee and departure opportunities
Fernandes' contract with Manchester United reportedly includes a clause allowing teams outside the Premier League to sign him for a fee of around £56.6 to £57 million. This is a feasible figure for European football powerhouses like Bayern Munich. Moving to a stable and ambitious environment like Germany would be a logical choice for Fernandes to seek trophies in the later stages of his career.
If this transfer happens, it would not only be a turning point in Bruno Fernandes' career but also reflect the long-standing instability at Old Trafford, causing even the most loyal key players to consider seeking a new club.
