In a stunning development, reports have emerged that Real Madrid is preparing a £90 million bid to acquire Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Scouts from the Spanish giants have reportedly attended nearly every United match this season to monitor Fernandes, viewing him as a potential successor to Luka Modrić, whose contract expires this summer.

Fernandes, who signed a contract extension with United until 2027, has been a pivotal figure since his arrival from Sporting CP in 2020, contributing significantly with goals and assists. Despite his commitment, United’s recent financial challenges might make them consider substantial offers for key players.

United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly keen to retain Fernandes, emphasizing his importance to the team’s success.  However, the allure of joining a club of Real Madrid’s stature and competing at the highest levels of European football could be tempting for the Portuguese international.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see how this potential transfer saga unfolds. Losing Fernandes would be a significant blow to United, given his leadership and consistent performances. Fans are bracing for what could be a transformative period for the club.
