Florentino Perez’s Real Madrid are gearing up to sign Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes next summer.
Bruno Fernandes’ future has been a massive talking point for months. While he has been constantly linked with a move away, the Portuguese international continues to do wonders for them on the pitch. His contract at Old Trafford runs until the summer of 2027, but Fernandes could be on the move next summer.
He has lucrative offers from the Middle East, but since he wants to continue in Europe, he could look to join a club that can help him compete for major titles. Real Madrid have emerged as a potential destination. According to a report from Fichajes, Los Blancos are gearing up to sign him ahead of next season.
The 31-year-old moved to Old Trafford at the start of 2020, following his impressive rise at Sporting CP. He has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Manchester-based giants. Despite United’s inconsistent performances this season, Fernandes has still stood out with five goals and 11 assists in his 22 outings.
While he remains an integral part of their project, Fernandes’ recent comments about the club wanting to sell him last summer haven’t gone down well. As a result, they could actually look to cash in on him.
Real Madrid have their eyes on Fernandes
More importantly, Fernandes is not happy with the project and could look to join a club where he can actually fight for the major titles. Real Madrid are looking to add more quality to their midfield, and they consider Fernandes an ideal fit for their project.
He has all the qualities to succeed at the club, and his experience could help the youngsters around him. They believe his contract situation at United makes him a great market opportunity. Fernandes seems keen on making the move to the Spanish capital, which is certainly a massive boost for the club.
Since he is already 31 and will only have a year left on his deal in the summer, Los Blancos believe they could snap him up for around €40–50 million. His arrival could completely transform their midfield, and they could even look to cash in on one of their players.
