Man Utd: Fernandes would add ‘dynamism’ to club says expert
Manchester United have made a breakthrough in their attempts to land Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes. The Mirror claim that the Red Devils are hopeful of signing the Portugal international by the end of the week after deciding to submit a new offer worth £46.78million that could eventually rise to £55m after add-ons.
Fernandes to Manchester United is a transfer saga that has spanned months.
Back in the summer, the Red Devils always insisted they weren’t keen on signing the Portugal international, with James Maddison instead their No 1 target.
However, with United experiencing a difficult campaign, the club have decided to go after Fernandes.
A deal looked likely to happen earlier in the month.
At the weekend, however, things had hit a deadlock - meaning the player couldn’t complete his move to Old Trafford.
Now, though, United have made their breakthrough and are hopeful of sealing a deal for the 25-year-old playmaker later this week.
Express Sport now takes a look at when Fernandes could make his United debut should the transfer happen.
