Real Madrid never stops searching for talent. It is always alert to the market, exploring options to strengthen its squad and maintain its dominance in Europe.
With a new season on the horizon, Los Blancos already have their roadmap defined. Among their priorities is a clear objective: to strengthen the midfield with a creative and quality player for Ancelotti.
From the Madrid board, with Juni Calafat at the helm, they have scoured the market in search of the ideal candidate. All eyes have ended up focusing on a Premier League star.
Bruno Fernandes, the Chosen One by Madrid
The player who has caught Real Madrid's attention is none other than Bruno Fernandes. The 30-year-old Portuguese is one of the key pieces of Manchester United. His vision of the game, leadership, and goal-scoring ability make him the perfect profile to strengthen the Merengue midfield.
According to information from the English newspaper Daily Star, Madrid is preparing a multimillion-dollar offer to convince the "Red Devils." They are talking about an amount close to 90 million euros to try to entice the United board. However, from Old Trafford, the response has been blunt.
Ruben Amorim Responds
Manchester United is not willing to part with their captain. Ruben Amorim, the English team's coach, was clear in a press conference when asked about Bruno's possible departure.
"No, that won't happen," he stated without hesitation. "I need Bruno here. We want to reclaim the Premier League, and for that, we need our best players," the Portuguese coach asserted.
With a contract until 2027, Fernandes is an untouchable piece in United's plans. His role in the team is indisputable, and although Real Madrid has shown interest, in Manchester, they are clear that their leader is not for sale.
Madrid Forced to Seek Another Target
This setback forces Real Madrid to change strategy. Although the Bruno Fernandes option was attractive, Los Blancos will have to consider other alternatives in the market. The Premier League remains an attractive market, but Madrid must move quickly to find a suitable replacement.
For now, Florentino Pérez and his team of scouts will have to cross a name off their list. Bruno Fernandes stays in Manchester. Madrid, to seek a new signing.
