  "account": "Three European clubs – AC Milan, Juventus and Galatasaray – are reportedly considering a late-summer bid for Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, following the disclosure of a £57 million release clause in his contract. Simon Stone of BBC Sport reported on the interest, noting that the Portuguese star remains committed to United for the remainder of his career, which is likely to bring a sigh of relief to United supporters. Fernandes' impressive performances last season, including breaking the Premier League assist record with 21 assists in a single campaign and contributing nine goals, have made him an invaluable asset for United. The midfielder's presence in the team was crucial to their Champions League qualification, and he is eager to return to European competition. Despite the interest from other clubs, it appears that Fernandes is not interested in a summer departure, which is a positive sign for United. Nevertheless, the club will need to continue strengthening its squad ahead of the new season to ensure they are well-prepared to compete in all areas.",
