Bayern Munich approached and discussed with Bruno Fernandes’ representative about the possibility of a transfer next summer, according to Portuguese press information.

 

New Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is eager to add strength to the German team’s squad to soon regain good performance after a disappointing season, informed sources said.

Bayern Munich just went through a season without any titles, even though they previously recruited striker Harry Kane. The English player’s impressive scoring record cannot help Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga, domestic cup or Champions League.

Coach Kompany was appointed to replace Thomas Tuchel last week. O Jogo newspaper in Portugal reported that Bruno Fernandes could be Bayern Munich’s first expensive contract under the young Belgian strategist.

O Jogo’s source even said that Bayern Munich proactively approached Bruno Fernandes’ representative Miguel Pinho to discuss the possibility of a transfer. Bayern Munich is not the only team that wants to recruit the Portuguese midfielder this summer, because Barcelona is also very interested in him.

Bruno Fernandes’ future at Man United is described as unclear, especially in the context that coach Erik Ten Hag is also unclear whether he will be retained at Old Trafford or not.

Last month, Bruno Fernandes wrote an open letter in The Players’ Tribune, affirming that he wаnted to continue with Man United. However, he also left the future open, emphasizing that his ambitions need to be respected. In the article, the Portuguese midfielder mentioned his desire to play in the Champions League and in the finals, considering it “the standard”.

Bruno Fernandes’ contract is valid until June 2026, but Man United can extend it for another 12 months. The Portuguese midfielder currently earns a salary of £240,000 per week.

Last month, he and Man United defeated Man City in the FA Cup final and were crowned champions. This is the second title he won with the Old Trafford team, following last year’s Carabao Cup. The result helped Man United win tickets to the Europa League, but was not enough to compete in the Champions League as Bruno Fernandes expected.

Since joining Man United in January 2020, Bruno Fernandes has appeared 233 times, scored 79 goals, and assisted 66 times. In case the Portuguese midfielder cannot be retained, experts assess that Man United will face many difficulties in the process of rebuilding the squad.

According to information from local media, Man United will only have about 35 million pounds to transfer next summer, but INEOS owners will find ways to sell players to increase this amount..
