Rough translation: "On Bruno Fernandez's side, confidence in the exit is quite high. But he understands he can't leave with the numbers United are suggesting"

Not sure if he's remotely reliable, but couldn't see him on the blacklist (apologies if I missed him).

The only way this transfer saga gets any credibility is if he doesnt play against Benfica... which wont happen.

The first tweet is the same thing that has been posted a zillion times.. player wants to come. No fee agreed.

I'd be surprised if he refused to play against Benfica if we're not close on a fee. Their fans wouldn't take that too well.

Yes, though the first tweet does refer (not in the quoted tweet, mind) to detail - which is that Sporting want €65m, we've offered €50 plus bonuses which could see the fee rise to €70-80m. This is pretty much identical to the "negotiations" for Wan Bissaka and Maguire - so it's potentially hopeful... Or could all be bollocks

Rember when the BBC was about as reliable as it got. If they reported it it was close or done. Now they've ventured in to a gossip column and have became just like loads of other shit sources. That latest Bruno post tracks back to some source I'm guessing is just making something up and I doubt has any credibility.

The choice of words for that BBC tweet makes people unsettled and impatient. It's pretty much in negotiations stage.
It could all go like Perisic and not happen due to the money Sporting is asking forfor or it could turn out like AWB and Maguire and try our best to run the price down.
I think it's more of the latter. I think we've been scouting him for quite some time and the club and Ole are convinced he's the man they want.
Just a matter of agreeing on £ up front and what sort of bonuses are added and how achievable are they.
I think by the end of next week or beginning of the week after he'll be in United shirt.

Even the BBC have to resort to clickbaiting now even though they don't have adverts?

Seems a fair price. Probably we'll pay up the other £17m. I really hope he brings his Portuguese league numbers to the PL.
If he brings those numbers he’ll be worth twice at least, if he provides half the numbers would be pretty good to be honest.

It's not really a surprise we're in such a mess is it? Can't wait till the lot of them are gone. Absolute no marks. Need to stick to their calculators and spreadsheets.

Weird he looked class for a while. Maybe should go to a more attacking team. No doubt if Klopp got hold of him he'd be a worldbeater.
