Still, few would have expected Galatasaray to be one of Fernandes’ suitors, even if Turkish clubs do often have a fair amount of money to spend, leading big names like Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane to join Galatasaray in recent times.

According to Fichajes, the club are now setting aside €60m to try to pounce for Fernandes this summer as they sense an opportunity for this ambitious deal.

Bruno Fernandes to leave Manchester United?

It’s not yet clear what will happen with Fernandes, as Man Utd will surely want to keep the 31-year-old after his superb form again this season.

According to the Daily Mail, the Red Devils have been keen not to lose Fernandes and may refuse to sell him, even if there’s the risk of losing him on a free in a year’s time.

If Fernandes does end up leaving United, it’s perhaps also more likely that he’d fancy a move to another major club in a more competitive league than Turkey.

His form this season shows he’s still at the very top of his game, so he doesn’t necessarily need to be thinking about a big pay day in the Turkish or Saudi leagues just yet…

Fernandes is on the radar of PSG and Bayern Munich, as per our recent report on his future, so that could still end up being something to watch.

Overall, though, it’s surely going to be very hard for this new MUFC project to take off if they’re having to replace an influential player like Fernandes this summer.
