Vincent Kompany reportedly wants Bayern Munich to sign 29-year-old Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Bruno Fernandes is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. Vincent Kompany is driving the Bundesliga club’s move for the Manchester United captain, with the newly-appointed manager keen on having the 29-year-old in his squad in the 2024/25 season.
The rise and rise of Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best players in the Premier League since joining Manchester United from Sporting CP in January 2020. The Portuguese international took no time to become a pivotal figure for the Premier League club and has been a shining light for them in their worst times.
The 29-year-old was exceptional in a sub-par 2023/24 campaign, amassing 15 goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions. Fernandes also became the Manchester United captain ahead of the 2023/24 season and lived up to the billing throughout the term.
However, the Manchester United captain will have two years remaining on his contract on July 1, and prospective suitors are smelling blood. Recent reports have linked the former Sporting CP captain with high-profile clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, with Saudi Pro League outfits also keen on signing him.
Vincent Kompany wants Fernandes
Bayern Munich’s interest in Bruno Fernandes is understandable. The Bavarian giants are eager to make game-changing additions to their squad to return to the summit of the Bundesliga after finishing third in the German top flight this season. The Manchester United captain has thus emerged as a viable target for Die Roten.
Newly-appointed manager Vincent Kompany is driving Bayern Munich’s interest in securing Bruno Fernandes’s services in the summer transfer window. The 29-year-old Manchester United talisman can be the long-term successor to Thomas Muller at the Allianz Stadium. However, a summer move will unlikely see the light of day.
Widespread reports have claimed that Manchester United will not entertain any offers to sell the Portuguese international in the summer transfer window. While the 29-year-old is open to all possibilities, he would prefer to remain at Old Trafford. So, a move to Bayern Munich will unlikely materialise.
