Despite rejecting two offers, Manchester United continues negotiations to renew Fernandes' contract

Manchester United have decided to continue negotiations with their captain Bruno Fernandes to renew his contract, despite the player rejecting the second offer, with the club holding on to the possibility of reaching an agreement, according to "TEAMtalk".

Bruno Fernandes is seeking a contract extension until June 2030, but Manchester United are refusing his request due to his age and decline in form this season, despite his impressive performance last season where he recorded 21 assists in 35 matches in the Premier League and won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award.

The report added that Manchester United officials still believe they can convince the player to renew, while a source close to him confirmed: "We will reach an agreement."

The club has the option to extend Bruno Fernandes' contract until the summer of 2028, giving him additional time for negotiations, especially since the player wants to stay, and the arrival of Maurício Pochettino may help renew his enthusiasm.

If negotiations collapse, Saudi Arabia appears to be the closest destination for the player, with Al Hilal reportedly offering to triple his salary and presenting £100 million to Manchester United for his transfer.
