Man Utd will reject any bid for Fernandes
Manchester United have no intention of selling captain Bruno Fernandes despite Turkish club Galatasaray being prepared to lodge a bid for the 31-year-old later this week.
Manchester United have pledged to reject any bids for midfielder Bruno Fernandes before the upcoming transfer deadline. The club has been informed that Turkish side Galatasaray, alongside Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan, are considering making a move for the 31-year-old. Galatasaray reportedly had a deal in place that would have cost 50m euros (£42.7m), but sources at Old Trafford are confident the Turkish club would be wasting their time.
Fernandes had previously been offered a significant deal by Saudi Pro-League side Al-Hilal, but opted to remain with United. The Portuguese captain has one year left on his current contract with an option for a further season. There are no reported bids for Fernandes, but the club maintains he is not for sale at any price. Fernandes could be up for a PFA Player of the Year award for the 2025-26 season, having recorded a Premier League record 21 assists last season.
The club's strong negotiating position is bolstered by the enthusiastic reception Fernandes received during a pre-season game against Leeds.
