AC Milan, Juventus and Galatasaray have all set their sights on Bruno Fernandes this summer.
That’s according to BBC Sport’s Simon Stone, who adds that the Manchester United captain’s contract contains a £57 million release clause for foreign clubs.
Bruno Fernandes rules out summer exit – much to fans’ delight
However, Stone has also claimed that Fernandes is keen to stay put at Old Trafford – potentially even for the remainder of his career, which will be music to United fans’ ears.
While the midfield maestro awaits the beginning of his eighth season in red, supporters are still revelling over his world-class efforts last term, as he broke and set an entirely new Premier League assist record of 21 in a single campaign.
What’s more, Fernandes also came up with nine goals himself, despite spending half of 2025/2026 playing in a deeper role under Ruben Amorim.
After Michael Carrick took the reins, Kobbie Mainoo was restored to his rightful place alongside Casemiro, allowing his skipper the freedom to roam and pull the strings for the attackers.
Fernandes is irreplaceable at United
Fernandes was integral to United securing Champions League football via their third-placed finish, so he’ll be chomping at the bit to get back out on the biggest European stage and continue having such a game-changing impact.
Fernandes’ complete record across all competitions for MUFC
In the meantime, United will be unfazed by the lingering interest from his overseas admirers, given the 31-year-old has seemingly made it clear behind the scenes that he’s uninterested in embarking on a new venture.
Even so, it should prompt INEOS to continue building the squad before the deadline to ensure Fernandes and the rest of the first team have enough support to really compete on all fronts after the summer.
