Man United are believed to be open to letting their captain Bruno Fernandes leave during the summer transfer window as Bayern Munich eye a deal with the Premier League giants for the Portuguese star.
The 29-year-old is said to be frustrated at Old Trafford and that gives the German club confidence to sign the midfielder, reports The Independent.
The report says that Man United will also be willing to sell Fernandes for a fair price as the Manchester club need to sell players this summer to meet the requirements of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rule and restart at Old Trafford.
The upcoming transfer window will be the first under new United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS chief will be looking to make a statement, despite not having a huge budget to operate due to spending in recent years.
Fernandes would have made a lot of money for Man United but the Manchester club would be losing their best player.
The Portuguese star has been one of the only signings to make a difference at Old Trafford over the past decade and it will be interesting to see how Ratcliffe will replace the 29-year-old when he leaves.
Bayern Munich are interested in signing Bruno Fernandes from Man United
According to The Independent, Bayern Munich are looking to change the personality of their current squad while bringing in more depth up front, with Fernandes now the obvious choice. The German giants are believed to have a huge budget to spend this summer and are hoping to get a deal done, although the price tag for the Portugal international will be high.
From a player’s point of view, this would be a good move for Fernandes as the midfielder is 29 years old and has only won the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford.
That won’t change anytime soon as the Manchester club are in turmoil and with only a few years left in his prime, the Portuguese star should be open to leaving Man United at the end of the season.
