The transfer rumors surrounding Bruno Fernandes have been running wild lately, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly eyeing the Manchester United midfielder as a top target for this summer. However, the Red Devils have made it clear that it would take a significant offer for them to even consider selling him.
Since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in 2019 for a whopping £68 million, Fernandes has undoubtedly been their standout player, scoring 54 goals and providing 41 assists in just 159 Premier League appearances. He has also been a key figure for Portugal, impressing at the recent Euro 2024 tournament under the guidance of Roberto Martinez.
His exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, with numerous European clubs and even some powerhouses in Saudi Arabia expressing interest in acquiring his services. Towards the end of last season, Fernandes was heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford, but he made it clear that he wanted to stay and challenge for major trophies. However, with United finishing eighth in the Premier League last season and missing out on Champions League qualification, Fernandes' desire to compete at the highest level remains unfulfilled.
This is where Paris Saint-Germain comes into the picture. The French giants, who have dominated Ligue 1 for years, are also regulars in the Champions League and reached the semi-finals last season before being knocked out by Borussia Dortmund. As per reports in France, PSG have made a stunning move for Fernandes and are also interested in bringing in his United teammate Jadon Sancho.
But according to sources, Manchester United are not fazed by these rumors and are confident in their ability to keep Fernandes at the club. They believe that the PSG links have been blown out of proportion and that it would take a monumental offer to even consider parting ways with a player who has won the club's Player of the Year award three times since joining.
As for Fernandes himself, he has made it clear that he loves playing for United and has no intention of leaving. In an interview with the Players' Tribune in March, he expressed his deep love for stepping out at Old Trafford and stated that staying at the club has always been his ultimate dream. However, he also mentioned that his expectations must align with those of the club, which includes competing for the league title, playing in the Champions League, and reaching cup finals.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Bruno Fernandes and if he will indeed make the move to Paris Saint-Germain. But for now, Manchester United seem unfazed by the speculation and are determined to hold on to their star player.
