Bruno Fernandes holds firm on his terms to renew contract with Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has rejected the latest offer to renew his contract due to a disagreement over the duration of the contract, which represents the main obstacle to reaching an agreement.

According to "TEAMtalk", the 32-year-old midfielder is holding onto a guaranteed contract until 2030, with the possibility of an extension for an additional period, while the club management refuses to commit to this duration. Additionally, the financial offer has not met his expectations.

Manchester United were prepared to offer an additional year on current terms, with a performance-related extension option that could keep the player until 2030, but Fernandes does not want his continuation in the later years to be linked to conditions related to his level.

Manchester United captain believes his importance to the team deserves a long-term contract with better terms, despite the club having the option to extend his current contract until 2028.

Despite stalled negotiations, Bruno Fernandes still wishes to stay, and the arrival of new coach Maurício Pochettino could be a positive factor, given his appreciation for the player and understanding of his importance. However, the final decision remains with the club's management.
