Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is being monitored by Champions League winners Real Madrid.
Since joining the team, Fernandes has rapidly established himself as an important member of the team. The Old Trafford fan-favourite midfielder has continued his stellar play for Portugal during the World Cup.
There is a case to be made that Fernandes is Portugal’s most crucial player thus far in the competition, and his performances will undoubtedly catch the attention of teams throughout Europe.
As stated by The Metro, Real Madrid is currently one of the teams displaying interest in the Manchester United midfielder. The 28-year-old has played 146 times for United and has been directly involved in 95 goals for his side.
According to the source, Fernandes is happy at Old Trafford but would contemplate leaving if he thought it would help him advance in his career. With Manchester United not delivering to the level we’ve come to expect from them, Fernandes would move up to Real Madrid after the club won the Champions League last season.
Given that Fernandes’ contract at Old Trafford runs through 2026 and that he will surely be crucial to the team, a significant transfer fee may be required to wrest him away from the club.
As Fernando Santos’ team attempts to win a third trophy after winning the 2016 European Championship and the 2019 Nations League, Fernandes will be expected to play a crucial part for the national side.
