Transfer: Galatasaray Offer to Double Bruno Fernandes' Man Utd Salary
Galatasaray’s proposed deal would more than double Fernandes’ pay, but Manchester United say the captain is not for sale.
Galatasaray are reportedly preparing a $57.9 million bid for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, though United sources insist the midfielder is not for sale at any price.
The Turkish champions hope to lure Fernandes with a four-year contract potentially doubling his $9.3 million annual salary, despite his release clause of around 65 million having expired last month.
Fernandes enjoyed a record-breaking campaign last season, providing 21 Premier League assists and creating 136 chances, nearly three times more than United's next provider Bryan Mbeumo, who managed 47.
Having previously rejected lucrative offers from Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, Fernandes remains committed to Old Trafford, where United have no intention of letting the 31-year-old depart.
While Fernandes has one year remaining on his contract, United sources insist any incoming bid will be rejected, maintaining stability after the team finished top three under Michael Carrick last season.
