I like Bruno but he's also not the future if we take a 3-4 year view, given his age. Not clear how he fits in Amorim's system if we buy 2 new 10s and he is not a CM. So I dont see it at all surprising people saw this as an opportunity to raise some funds and address the CM position.

They're just the same bunch who moaned about him constantly last season. He kept them quiet for most of the season but it doesn't take much for them to be triggered back into action.
How many players in our history would have turned that offer down in our current state?
Legend behaviour.
Legend behaviour.
His contribution is to keep us a relevant bottom half PL team?
Can't be said enough. What good is that money? Buy a load more overpriced risks who don't pay off? We can't even attract the best without CL anyway.
Great news, but if Romano has the inside scoop and he's saying Bruno wants to play at the top level in Europe, then if I'm reading that right, he may still be on the move this summer because that ain't us anymore.
I do worry a Bruno, Case, Ugarte and Mainoo midfield is far from good enough.
You can also have a more defensive WB on the left and you’d have 5 defensive outfield players and 5 attacking ones, that’s balanced enough I think. If trained well.
Top level in europe meaning where he is now in the prem, not a small league like saudi for example
We are a bottom half team right now, it's a fact. Our table position until next season starts is 15th.
Our relevance comes down to whether you think next season will be dramatically better or not. Keeping by far our best footballer would be a good start.
Think you're coping, if he wanted to stay Fabrizio would of worded it that way, he will still look to leave just in europe.
What a guy. It would have been great business for us no doubt but this is how legends are made.
You surely have to take some level of confidence from it. If he felt we were just going to stand still he would have surely taken the money. With Cunha and likely Mbeumo coming in and hopefully a striker too then maybe, just maybe he sees a glimmer of hope we might be turning a corner.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
We ARE an irrelevant bottom half PL team and i'd say we are odds on to finish in the bottom half again next year given our financial situation, the huge amount of improvements that need to be made and our coach.
If he tells the club he wants to leave, I have no doubt we would negotiate a lower fee.
We are not going to keep him against his will.
I expect Bayern will make an offer, as they're missing out on Wirtz?
Agreed, with him, Amad, Cunha & Mbeumo, the quality upfront just went few levels up.
I hear Leverkusen might be coming into a bit of cash soon.
I like Bruno but still investing his 100M on players like Wharton/Baleba could take the club forward in a more balanced way.
He had a very good season but dont forget for 2 years (2022 and 2023) 90% of the fans here want him gone because of his poor ball control ability, having said that his stats speaks volumes but i think better we need a balanced team to play modern football.

Seems like.
I think if a top club comes in, he will tell the club he wants out and the club will grant him his wish.
He is clearly a troll, and no doubt a previously banned member, and should be booted from the forum.
Was never gonna go to a farmers league
He showed he can play in midfield more than well. With 3 at the back, it's just a question of how aggressive we lineup. If we play with higher back line and more athletic defenders, 3 at the back allow CBs to be more aggressive and step in midfield more often and the space he operates in will be smaller as well. The wing backs should slot in as well depending on situation, so technically it can be midfield three.
Just need another physical player next to him to cover more ground ( while being good on the ball). Let's see who we bring over the summer. Baleba or Wharton would be awesome but out of reach this window.
When did Mbeumo sign for us?
Hope his legs last for 3 years+ then it will be worth it to us (assuming he is not off elsewhere)
Nice one Captain! If our best player wants to stay, this can only be good news.
I was just joking. Of course we're still relevant regardless of what happens next season.
I want Bruno to stay because his value to the side in the coming season far outweighs the club's competence at reinvesting the windfall his sale would provide.
Let's see what Amorim does with his shiny new signings from this summer and if he can be trusted with any input on subsequent big money moves.
Fantastic news.
I mean “massive respect” and all that etc. but let’s not pretend a similar offer won’t be back on the table from Saudi in January or even summer 2026.
Probably even moreso because the longer we keep him, the less money they’d have to pay on the transfer fee and more directed to his wage!

With 3 at the back, and if you genuinely want your wingbacks to actually push up the pitch you can't afford to have a midfielder in your team as reckless as Bruno is on the ball unfortunately.
Well said.
just counting my chickens early
It isn’t. Casemiro is too comfortable with his feet under the table to think about moving, and Ugarte is too new a signing for us to launch him into the sun (what we should do).
I think we’ll either suffa-ball for one more season with the priority transfer positions being further forward, or we’ll skimp and sign a new CM who just doesn’t offer everything we need.
Legend - clearly loves the club.
Why do people think he is staying?
The wording of that article suggests that he want's to leave but just not to Saudi Arabia.
It means we won't be getting a massive transfer fee for him.

What it means is now Garnacho, Mainoo maybe have to be sold on top of Rashford, Sancho, Antony.
Long live chaos ball
I think he still ends up going but not at the price Al-Hilal have offered
Happy with that. Hopefully Cunha, Mbeumo, Amad and Bruno can deliver some great attacks next season.
