HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!' - RUBEN AMORIM ISSUES FIRM BRUNO FERNANDES STATEMENT AMID REAL MADRID TRANSFER LINKS
Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim has emphatically dismissed speculation linking Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes with a move to Real Madrid, insisting the Portuguese playmaker is going nowhere this summer.
Amorim’s Blunt Response
When asked about Fernandes’ future amid reports of a potential £90m bid from Madrid, Amorim—who coached Bruno at Sporting—told Record Portugal:
"Bruno is the heart of Manchester United. He’s not leaving. I know him well—he loves the club, the fans, and the project. These rumors are just noise."
Why a Move is Unlikely
1️⃣ United’s Reliance: Fernandes is undroppable under Ten Hag (121 G/A in 4.5 PL seasons).
2️⃣ Contract Leverage: His deal runs until 2026 (+1yr option); no exit clause exists.
3️⃣ Madrid’s Priorities: Focused on Mbappé & Davies—not another attacking midfielder.
4️⃣ Saudi Interest? Even if Pro League clubs bid, Fernandes wants UCL football.
What’s Next?
Fernandes is expected to stay and lead United’s rebuild.
Madrid may pivot to Florian Wirtz (2025) or Xavi Simons.
United could offer Bruno a new contract to silence rumors.
