Real Madrid has been linked with a surprise move for Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United.
The Portuguese international has been linked with the move away from the English club in recent months. He has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia and the MLS. It seems that the Spanish outfit Real Madrid is now keen on securing his signature.
According to a report from Fichajes, the player would be made available for a fee of €60 million. Real Madrid certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal.
They need more creativity in the final third and the experienced Portuguese International could be a useful acquisition for them. There is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the Premier League and he has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the world. He could make an immediate impact in Spain and help Real Madrid improve.
They have not been able to fight for major trophies since last season and they will look to bounce back strongly. Signing quality players will help them improve immediately. Fernandes is more than just a good player. He could be one of the leaders of the dressing room as well. He has been exceptional for Manchester United and he has been carrying the attack for several seasons.
Man United should keep Bruno Fernandes
His departure would be a huge blow for the Premier League. They have been overly dependent on him going forward. They are still going through a period of rebuilding and they need quality players in order to get back to the top of English football. Selling one of their best players would be a huge mistake. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to sanction his departure.
Fernandes is unlikely to have any shortage of clubs looking to sign him. He is an elite player who is at the peak of his career. He could be an asset for most teams. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
