Real Madrid are reportedly contemplating a deal for Manchester United's leader Bruno Fernandes Bruno Fernandes could be on his way to Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants reportedly preparing a £90 million bid for the Manchester United captain. PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports With the Red Devils struggling financially and at risk of missing out on European football, they may be forced to consider selling their most influential player. Real Madrid eyeing Fernandes as Modric successor Accoding to reports, Real Madrid’s scouts have been monitoring Fernandes closely, with Luka Modric nearing the end of his career. While the Croatian is expected to receive a one-year extension, Los Blancos are actively searching for a long-term midfield leader. With 16 goals this season, Fernandes has been United’s standout performer, despite the club’s struggles under Ruben Amorim. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are also finalising a free transfer for Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, ahead of a busy summer transfer window. Manchester United’s financial woes could seal the deal Fernandes is contracted until 2027, but United’s financial struggles mean they need to raise funds this summer. With Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho also expected to leave, Manchester United are desperate for cash to support Amorim’s rebuild. Several players have been linked with moves to raise money for the Red Devils’ rebuild including youngsters Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and Rasmus Hojlund. If Real Madrid submit a formal bid, Fernandes’ departure could become a harsh financial necessity rather than a footballing decision.
