Real Madrid are interested in bringing Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to the club for around £90 million, while Liverpool’s owner Fenway Sports Group is interested in buying Spanish second-tier side Malaga out of administration. Oghenetejiri Adejenughure may arrive, but players at Old Trafford may not welcome Jadon Sancho back if his move to Chelsea fails. Bruno Fernandes has emerged as a shock £90 million target for Real Madrid.
"Daily Star Sport can reveal that Real, the most successful club in the world, have been represented at virtually every Manchester United match recently – both at home and away.
"And the subject of their scouting missions is Old Trafford star Fernandes, 30, creating a major dilemma for the cash-strapped United hierarchy.
"United's boss Ruben Amorim doesn't want to lose his inspirational captain, but United would have to think about a big offer for the midfielder because they want to cut costs and raise money." Certain Manchester United players are said to have reservations over the potential return of Jadon Sancho from Chelsea.
It is far from a done deal that he will move to Stamford Bridge on a permanent transfer, and some United players are unsure if he could cope with the pressure at Old Trafford.
The Daily Mail explains: "Manchester United players have shared what they really think about a potential return to the club for out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho.
"Sancho, 25, has struggled for form this season after being loaned out to United's Premier League rivals Chelsea.
"However, some individuals in Ruben Amorim's current United are said to have reservations over whether Sancho should play for The Red Devils again.
"Some players at Old Trafford felt he was unable to cope with the demands of playing for Manchester United before he was exiled by former manager Erik ten Hag a year and a half ago.
"United signed Sancho for £72.9 million from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021, with his contract set to expire next summer."
United are expected to hold out for a club record fee for Fernandes, who has been identified as a potential long-term replacement for Luka Modric. A £90 million ($116 million) deal would surpass the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Madrid. While United would strongly resist a sale, they may need to raise funds due to PSR concerns.
Fernandes remains absolutely integral to Ruben Amorim's system at United and has made 44 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 16 goals and registering 16 assists. United are 13th in the Premier League table but they remain in the Europa League. Winning that competition, and qualifying for the Champions League, may well see their situation change when it comes to potentially selling players this summer.
