Rumour about Man United star: will Bayern make a summer move? | OneFootball

New transfer rumor surrounding FC Bayern: The Munich bosses are reportedly considering a star from Manchester United.

FC Bayern is said to have set their sights on Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United. According to the portal TEAMtalk, the Munich team is considering making an offer for the Portuguese national player next summer. Although Fernandes is under contract with the Red Devils until 2027, an early departure from England is not considered impossible.

The 31-year-old has repeatedly turned down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia in recent months to stay at Manchester United. Nevertheless, the situation could be reassessed next summer—especially if the English traditional club fails to qualify for the Champions League again.

According to the report, Manchester United would demand around 45 million euros in the event of a sale. A sum that FC Bayern could fundamentally manage, especially since Fernandes' experience and leadership qualities would fit well into the record champion's requirements profile. The attacking midfielder is considered a strategically strong playmaker and emotional leader—qualities that coach Vincent Kompany would certainly appreciate in his young team.

Are Bayern considering Bruno Fernandes?

However, there are also hurdles from Munich's perspective. The biggest obstacle is likely to be the salary of the Portuguese captain: Fernandes is said to earn around 20 million euros per year in Manchester. And the FC Bayern officials are currently more focused on reducing salary costs. Additionally, it is highly questionable whether Bayern even needs to take action in Fernandes' position in central attacking midfield.

The Portuguese has been under contract with Manchester United since 2020 and quickly became a key player there. In 298 competitive matches, he scored 100 goals and provided 86 assists.

According to TEAMtalk, FC Bayern's interest is not yet concrete, but the name Fernandes is indeed being discussed internally.
