Real Madrid are reportedly ready to launch a move for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. The Spanish giants see the Portugal international as the ideal player to bolster their squad this summer.
Real Madrid are planning their summer moves and have set sights on Bruno Fernandes, as per a report in Daily Star. The Englishman publication notes that Los Blancos value the midfielder at £90 million and are set to make a bid.
The Spanish side have sent scouts in the recent Manchester United matches and believe that the Portuguese star can help them get better on the pitch. Despite boasting one of the best midfields in the world of club football, Real Madrid are said to be pushing to add more.
They reportedly see the former Sporting CP star as the ideal replacement for Luka Modric, who is at the end of his contract. They believe the the Croatian is close to calling it time on his career and will be leaving the club soon.
Fernandes has scored 95 goals for the Red Devils in his 227 matches for the Red Devils. He is the club’s top scorer in the Premier League this season and has been in fine form in recent games.
Should the bid be accepted by Manchester United, it would eclipse the fee paid by Real Madrid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from the Red Devils in 2009.
