FC Bayern is being linked with a top star from the Premier League. An insider gives his assessment.
Could Bruno Fernandes once again become a topic at FC Bayern? According to transfer insider Dean Jones, this possibility is by no means off the table. The Portuguese international from Manchester United has repeatedly been linked with the German record champions – and now the interest seems poised to flare up again.
Speaking to TEAMtalk, Jones said the situation surrounding Fernandes could become “interesting” next summer. “United knows it won’t be possible to sell him for a huge fee,” said the journalist, estimating the current market value of the 31-year-old at around £40 million, or about €46 million. Fernandes is under contract with Manchester United until 2027, but the traditional English club is going through a difficult phase both sportingly and financially.
“Maybe he’ll stay at Man United after all. A sale at that price might not be worth it,” Jones continued. “But I wouldn’t rule out a big club on the continent expressing interest in him and making him reconsider.” According to the insider, FC Bayern could be among those clubs.
Fernandes had already been linked with the Munich side in the spring. Under coach Vincent Kompany, the record champions are looking mid-term for another creative option in central midfield – and Fernandes, with his experience, leadership, and game intelligence, would fit the profile. “Bayern Munich could come back into play for Fernandes,” Jones said verbatim.

Real Madrid are also said to have looked into Fernandes in the past. The Spaniards’ interest did not become concrete, but the Portuguese remains a possible candidate for Los Blancos. “He wouldn’t be the first choice there, but we know this is a position they want to strengthen next summer. If other targets prove too expensive or unattainable, an opportunity could arise here,” Jones explained.
A move to Saudi Arabia, where numerous European stars have recently signed lucrative contracts, apparently isn’t an option for Fernandes. According to the insider, it is “very clear” that the former Sporting Lisbon professional has “no interest” in a stint in the desert. Instead, the attacking player wants to fully focus on his season at Manchester United and help the club qualify for international competition.
