"That's a shockingly low asking price for Fernandes, who has been by far the club's best player for the last few years, and one of the finest attacking midfielders in world football. It seems Man Utd's hands may be tied slightly, however, as the Portugal international is not keen on a move to a Saudi Pro League club, according to TEAMtalk. Bayern are being named as a more likely option for Fernandes, and that will likely mean any fee for the 31-year-old is considerably lower."
"Ideally, United would surely look to keep Fernandes, even if he's not getting any younger, but if that weren't possible for them, then they'd surely hope to bank huge money from selling him to a Saudi club. Losing someone of Fernandes' quality to another major European club for just 40m seems like a potential disaster for the Red Devils, as it wouldn't give them nearly enough money to spend on finding an adequate replacement."
Manchester United are prepared to sell Bruno Fernandes to Bayern Munich for as little as 40m. Fernandes has been the club's best player in recent years and is regarded as one of the top attacking midfielders globally. The Portugal international does not want a move to the Saudi Pro League, which makes Bayern a more likely destination and would reduce his potential transfer fee. United would prefer to keep Fernandes or sell him for a large sum to Saudi clubs, but a 40m sale to a European rival would leave insufficient funds to replace him. A move to Bayern could still deliver strong value despite age concerns.
