The bomb dropped this morning in England, surprising Sunday Express with the front page of their newspaper. The name of Real Madrid features with a supposed interest in Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United, and they even put a figure on the operation. They talk about 100 million euros to sign him immediately, assuming one of the biggest operations in the transfer market.
At 30 years old, Bruno Fernandes has a contract with Manchester United until 2027 and would be considering the possibility of leaving Old Trafford. His departure is valued at just over 50 million euros, so Real Madrid would pay almost double.
Real Madrid denies It: Bruno Fernandes is not of interest
Upon becoming aware of this news published in England, Madrid-Barcelona contacted sources from Real Madrid. The response about Bruno Fernandes was clear and forceful: "He is a great player, but we are not interested."
When asked where the news came from, these sources assured to Madrid-Barcelona that the white club "has nothing to do with it", not even knowing that this had come to light.
The reality is that despite the apparent enormous quality of Bruno Fernandes, there is no interest in Real Madrid. His performance has dropped in recent seasons and he can't have such a high price as they say in England. He is not being followed, his quality is appreciated, but it is considered that the position he occupies is more than covered.
Among Jude Bellingham, Brahim, and even Arda Güler, Real Madrid is clear that they are not looking for another attacking midfielder. And much less paying the fortune they say has been offered for Bruno Fernandes. There is nothing at all.
Real Madrid: Restrained this summer
The sports planning of Real Madrid is already done. Arnold will be the big signing, arriving free from his contract with Liverpool. Then the possibility of strengthening the left wing with the return of Miguel Gutiérrez is being considered, but there are doubts.
In this regard, another possibility would be to make a signing in the midfield, which would be for the pivot position. Zubimendi is very much liked, with a clause of 60 million. There is the option to strengthen the center of the defense by incorporating another central defender, but that remains to be seen and will depend on the opportunities that arise.
What is clear is that Real Madrid is not interested in Bruno Fernandes, much less for those 100 million they talk about there. He is ruled out.
