DBasia.news – Agent Bruno Fernandes finally answered the issue of the transfer of his client. The news of Bruno Fernandes’s move was increasingly crowded after the outside media reported about the issue.
According to the statement from the mouth of Jorge Mendes, one of Europe’s top agents, Fernandes is indeed a great opportunity to leave Sporting Lisbon. However, that does not mean the 25-year-old midfielder will join Man United and leave this January.
“I do not know (the new club Fernandes ). If he does not go now, he will definitely go in the summer because Sporting has spoken with other clubs,” Jorge Mendes said at the Association of Football Agents (AFA), quoted by Goal.
“Something will happen but I am not sure if now (Fernandes leaves) or at the end of the season,” continued the man who is also Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent.
Red Devils – nicknamed Man United – reportedly made a bid of £ 60 million to convince Sporting to release Fernandes. However, Sporting is allegedly asking for a price of close to £ 70 million.
Fernandes, who had played for Sampdoria, was reconnected with Man United because they lacked stock in midfield after Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay were injured. Also, United directed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs creative players in midfield.
The Portuguese player is not the best regulator of attacks in Europe, but, Bruno Fernandes has high goal productivity despite his midfield position. He could be a solution to scoring United from midfield if the front lines are stuck.
Some time ago, Silas, the Sporting coach, also spoke about Fernandes and understood his desire to play in the Premier League. So, Silas is not surprised if sooner or later Fernandes will play in the Premier League.
“Bruno does the work of two or three players. I prefer he does not go,” Silas said some time ago.
“We have to understand the ambitions of players, who prefer to play in a league that is superior to us. There is talk in the Premier League, but who doesn’t like to play there?”
“Bruno deserves everything and deserves to test himself in a league like this. If he’s one of the best, he deserves to be there,” explained Silas.
