Fernandes’ Transfer Threatened to be Canceled

DBasia.news –  Manchester United continued to hesitate in the transfer of players this January after they were prepared to discourage the purchase of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon for suing the Portuguese club to reduce the player’s price.

Sporting wants the 65 million euros paid in advance and another 15 million euros from advertising for Fernandes’ transfer, even though the Portuguese club is ready to release the midfielder to Tottenham next summer at 45 million euros plus advertising revenue.

Fernandes himself wants to move to Old Trafford but his transfer is on the verge of failing unless Sporting is willing to reduce prices.

United’s new player recruitment scheme will focus on next summer and they only want to purchase players in the January transfer window if there is an agreement in accordance with their wishes.

Sporting wants to include Marcos Rojo in a deal with Manchester United but the Argentine does not want to return to his former club.

Fernandes played 90 minutes for Sporting when they won 2-0 against Benfica on Friday night. He has scored 15 goals in 26 matches this season.
