Obstacle delays Bruno Fernandes contract renewal with Manchester United

Manchester United continue negotiations with Bruno Fernandes regarding the renewal of his contract, but a new agreement is not imminent due to a disagreement over the length of the contract, with a surprising clause related to the player's appearances being discussed.

TEAMtalk reported that Bruno Fernandes' current contract has less than 12 months remaining, with the club having an option to extend it until 2028. However, Manchester United are seeking to offer him a new deal that could run until 2029, with an option for an additional year.

The point of contention lies in the duration the club can commit to, while both parties discuss the possibility of including a clause that allows for the automatic extension of the contract based on the number of appearances of Bruno Fernandes.

The same source confirmed that Marcus Rashford's salary does not impact Bruno Fernandes' future, pointing out Manchester United's commitment to their captain, who remains a key element in the team's plans.

The player's age is a key factor in negotiations as the club seeks to reach an agreement that secures his bonus while minimizing the financial risks associated with a long-term contract.
