Nein. He's Mister Manchester. This club only sells to Real, even then....
Bruno Fernandes Out?
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
Wasn't there Saudi interest last summer, which led to Bruno's pay rise + extension? Can't see Bruno or the club being willing to make this happen 1 year later now that he's proven himself to be more vital to us than ever. This feels like a non-starter.
Sweet, I should get a job in the negotiation team
There were reports that they were willing to offer upto 120m for Salah? It will have to be in that range.
He's worth so much more to us as a team right now than what his actual market value is (eg. what a club like PSG or Madrid realistically offer us if they were interested) - which is probably 60 up to 80m based on his age and current form.
Would need to be 150m minimum, probably closer to 180m given our current state of affairs and his current level of importance in the team. Even then, I would still be anxious as I don't trust our team to invest that money well based on our recent track record in the transfer market.

It would be a disastrous sale right now. It would need to be 150m+. it's just illogical to sell him
100m isn't enough for me. One because I don't trust us to spend it wisely and two, you take Bruno out of this side and it's an empty vessel in more ways than one. He would be a indescribable loss to this current Utd side.
I would 120 to 130. And get Wirtz or wharton. I mean he is good but he is turning 31 in September. If he can help with getting wirtz or whatron so be it.
This is depressing and I'll just bury my head in sand and hope it goes away
Bruno wouldn’t want to go to Saudi anyway. Doesn’t seem like he’s motivated by money. Don’t think this will happen.
150 - 180m? I see people are still undervaluing him... If some saudi club want him, make them break the transfer record. Yes i'm talking beyond Neymar's fee.
This is not the early 2000s anymore where players were finished once they hit 30s. Also 130m for Bruno? You clearly underestimated his value to our club.

Would only entertain a crazy bid. He's dragged us through this season to having one leg in the Europa League final. £200million to pick up the phone.
This is gonna be good…
I don’t think there’s truth to this. Most of the Saudi’s transfer fees seem to be marginally inflated from Europe fees, the difference is the obscene wages they offer.
If they are offering a ridiculous transfer fee, I have zero doubt INEOS will push him out. Their end goal is to get rid of all the high earners and reset our wage structure. Both Casemiro and Rashford were frozen out, Rashford left and will be sold and Casemiro fortunately refused to leave and found his way back into the team out of necessity.

Surely there’s a market for Hojlund and Onana in Saudi.
And how could they resist Luke Shaw the British Cafu or Mason Mount the British… erm… Lampard ?
Moving the discussion out of the transfer thread.
The idea of moving on from Bruno is not a bad one in of itself, but the team is so so shit right now that we will need Bruno at least for another season, the squad needs further strengthening any several positions, especially in attack and midfield, and until we do that, Bruno remains a necessity to survive.
Knowing how we will spend that 80m - 100m I rather just keep him at the club
How about we sell Bruno for a really hefty price to invest for the future, meanwhile we sign Kevin De Bruyne for free as a stopgap while our young players grow (Cavani-esque)?
even if we disregard the fact that he is a City legend, a 33yo injury-prone on the decline KdB who would demand top salary, won't do much with us, he would be a liability like Eriksen.
He’s not fecking leaving.
I won't mind him staying for another season either. Next season is going to be another one where we are in transition. However, if someone offers a decent amount in the summer then I think we should consider it. If Amo stays, then in his system the best space for Bruno I see is in central midfield, but I think we should get a proper central midfielder with vision, passing and ability to beat the press to partner Ugarte/whoever we decide as the first choice for the box to box role.
Can we get that player? I am not sure. The most logical answer is no given the state of our recruitment.
Do I think we'll be a better team if we can get that player? A hundred percent.
31 next season if this was Madrid they’d probably cash in and have a viable replacement lined up.
I love Bruno but if they’re willing to pay 100m+ for a 31 year old we’d have to look at it surely.
The key is having the right players to come in and replace him and I’m not convinced this club would do that

I dont think Bruno would want to move to Saudi right now when hes still playing his best football anyway, so that's a non-starter.
This 150m will not save us from relegation next season without him.
I mean if they offer a world record fee like 250 million or something then maybe, but broadly speaking barring a world record fee, we really should not be open to selling Bruno
Would 150m get us Eze and Wharton?
The last line is what makes this a nonstarter for me. Of course 100m for a 31 year old makes a lot of sense in an economical sense, but just imagine where we'd be without Bruno (and an adequate replacement)
No chance this is happening, 0%. Even if the club somehow get convinced to sell, there's no chance in hell Bruno is going to Saudi at this point, I can guarantee that 100%.
Bruno at 30 is like most players at 25 - his engine is unreal, he’s never injured, and I can see him doing a Modric and still being top class when younger players have already retired.
To many talk with their feelings.
If they actually offers something like 125 mio pounds for Bruno, then of course United should accept it.

INEOS themselves gave Bruno his current wages. They made him the benchmark, no way they sell him. The problem with Case and Rashford was underperformance, Bruno doesn't have that issue.
That will be proof we have zero ambition. If there's a player out there performing at a similar level he'll cost 100+ and there's no guarantee he'll make the adaptation to the league and team.
It's not like the Coutinho scenario were Liverpool already had Salah, Firmino and Mane and didn't need a starting fourth attacker. All we have is Bruno and Amad who is just picking up the pace, no chance.
Dreams can't be buy!
He is so important for us that even 200 mil would not be enough.
If we actually get the player you describe in the bolded, as well as a creative 10 that can score goals, then yes, we can let go of Bruno.
Only way I’m okay with this is if we come out of this with Wirtz and Mbuemo.
