Manchester United Rejects Galatasaray Bid for Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United has reportedly decided against selling captain Bruno Fernandes despite a significant transfer offer from Galatasaray.
According to reports from Khaosod Online, citing journalist Ben Jacobs and The Athletic, Manchester United has no intention of parting ways with team captain Bruno Fernandes during the current summer transfer window. This decision comes despite strong interest from the Turkish club Galatasaray, which was reportedly prepared to offer 50 million euros for the 31-year-old midfielder.
Reports indicate that Galatasaray had proposed a salary package of 20 million euros per year, more than double what the Portuguese international currently earns at Old Trafford. However, Manchester United has signaled that the player remains a core part of their plans. Furthermore, The Athletic reports that the club is currently in negotiations to extend Fernandes' contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2027, despite an existing option to extend it by one additional year. It is understood that Fernandes also wishes to remain with the club.
For residents and travelers in Thailand who follow international football, this news clarifies the status of one of the Premier League's most prominent figures. While the transfer speculation has been addressed by club sources, the final details of the contract extension remain to be confirmed by an official announcement from Manchester United.
