Man Utd Rules Out Fernandes Transfer, Blocking Outside Interest

English Premier League (EPL) club Manchester United has decided to reject all transfer offers from other clubs for its captain, Bruno Fernandes.

Britain's BBC reported today that while Galatasaray (Turkey), Juventus, and AC Milan (Italy) are considering moves for Fernandes, Manchester United will not entertain any offers before the transfer window closes next month.

According to the outlet, Galatasaray is reportedly planning to propose a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros (approx. 82 billion KRW) to Manchester United.

However, high-ranking Manchester United officials have stated that such attempts by Galatasaray would be a "waste of time," making it clear that Fernandes is a "unsellable" asset.

This marks a complete shift in attitude compared to last summer, when Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia made a lucrative offer.

At the time, Manchester United stepped back, stating that "staying or leaving depends on the player's choice," and Fernandes later revealed that he was hurt by the club's lukewarm response.

Fernandes' contract with Manchester United has one year remaining, and it includes a one-year extension option.

Although a contract renewal agreement has not yet been reached with the club, the player himself is known to prefer staying.

Fernandes proved his value as a core player for the team last season by recording 21 assists in the EPL, tying the all-time record for a single season.

He is also widely expected to win the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Players' Player of the Year award for the 2025–2026 season next week.
