Bruno Fernandes and Bayern? "He’d be a perfect fit" | OneFootball

In England, there is intense speculation about Bruno Fernandes and FC Bayern. While the media reports on possible interest from the Munich club, a former Manchester United coach is now expressing enthusiasm about the idea – calling the Portuguese player a "Perfect Match" for the record champions.

The name Bruno Fernandes frequently comes up in Munich when discussing potential reinforcements for the attacking midfield. The Portuguese national player from Manchester United is considered one of the most complete playmakers in Europe. As GOAL reports, Bayern has been closely monitoring the development of the 31-year-old for some time.

A former associate of Fernandes even considers a move to the German record champions ideal – at least from a sporting perspective.

Former United coach René Meulensteen, who worked as an assistant under Sir Alex Ferguson, praised Fernandes in an interview with CasinoHawks: "Fernandes, with his intelligence, technique, and excellent passes, would perfectly fit the profile of FC Bayern Munich," Meulensteen explained. "He has achieved extraordinary things at Manchester United and was probably the best player at the club during two turbulent seasons. Now he is surrounded by better teammates."

The Dutchman sees in the offensive star the qualities that would also suit the current Bayern football under Vincent Kompany: creativity, leadership, and game vision.

Bayern bosses slow down: Fernandes likely too expensive

A transfer of the Portuguese captain is hardly realistic, however. Fernandes is under contract with Manchester United until 2027, and the club also has an option for an additional year. According to English media, his estimated annual salary is around 18 million euros gross – an amount far above the current salary structure of FC Bayern.

According to information from the Säbener Straße environment, the record champions are currently working more on reducing personnel costs and restructuring the salary framework. A highly paid deal for Fernandes would contradict this course.

Furthermore, there is the sporting question: Where should Fernandes even play? Jamal Musiala is set for the number ten position after his return, while Harry Kane has increasingly been acting as a playmaking striker. Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson also regularly moves into the center forward position in this setup.
