Bruno Fernandes' future at Manchester United remains uncertain. Negotiations for a new contract have been ongoing for over three months, but an agreement has yet to be reached.
The 32-year-old Portuguese international's current deal expires in a year, but United have the option to extend it for an additional season.
After a phenomenal last season where he scooped all the major individual awards in England, Fernandes is keen on becoming the highest-paid player at the club, surpassing Marcus Rashford. The main sticking points appear to be the length of the new contract and the buyout clause, currently set at £57 million.
Journalist David Ornstein has described the situation as a deadlock.
We understand that Bruno Fernandes is still in negotiations with Manchester United over a new contract, but there has been no breakthrough.
However, insider Fabrizio Romano seems more optimistic about the situation.
This is not cancelled, it’s not a breakdown, it’s not the end.
In the summer, Fernandes turned down offers from teams across Europe, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. He wishes to remain at Old Trafford, and the hierarchy is eager to keep him on board.
