Juventus Monitoring Bruno Fernandes' Situation at Manchester United

Juventus is studying the possibility of signing Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes during the summer transfer window, as part of coach Luciano Spalletti's plan to enhance creativity and leadership within the squad. The Italian club has reportedly begun exploring the Portuguese player's situation, according to "CaughtOffside."

The report indicates that Fernandes, aged 31, has previous experience in Serie A with Udinese and Sampdoria, while he enters the final year of his contract with Manchester United, which has the option to extend for an additional season.

The source added that negotiations between Manchester United and Fernandes regarding a new contract are making progress, enhancing the chances of the team captain remaining at Old Trafford in the upcoming period.

According to the report, citing sources close to player agents, Juventus' sporting director has placed Fernandez on the list of targets, and the club has reached out to the player's representatives to gauge his position.

Despite the interest, the deal appears financially complicated, as Manchester United may demand between €50 million and €75 million, in addition to the player's high salary, which could rise to £400,000 per week if he renews his contract.

The report confirmed that Bruno Fernandes' transfer to Juventus this summer seems unlikely, as he is close to signing a new contract with Manchester United and the English club is keen on retaining their captain.
