- United now offer €55m and the total sum may rise to €70m with add ons.
- The clubs may still be discussing the bonuses, hence the hold-up.
- The player’s destined to leave in January or in the summer, says agent Jorge Mendes.
- Sporting play a domestic game on Monday night with many United fans likely riveted to the screen.
Man United have raised their offer for Bruno Fernandes up to €55m plus €15m more in add-ons. The news comes from RTP, a Portuguese service broadcasting organisation who are like BBC in England.
So you’re telling me this is happening, right? Well, it might. There is still no agreement between the clubs. United have time until 31 January to get their act together and snatch the 25-year-old playmaker from what is described as a ‘dysfunctional club’.
Super-agent Jorge Mendes, who doesn’t seem to represent the player but wants to be involved in any possible deal, believes Bruno goes now or in the summer. He doesn’t say where to.
Bear it in mind that according to some reliable sources not long ago, it was reported that the total sum – €70m – was never an issue. The issue was how to structure the deal, i.e. agree on bonuses. So, the devil may still be in the details.
Desperate United fans may be looking for hints on Monday night as Sporting play a domestic fixture. No one knows whether the Man United target will be involved but many eyes will surely be on him, as they were in the clash against Benfica, deemed to be his another last game for Sporting.
