Fernandes’ performances are said to have attracted attention from Manchester United and according to Corriere dello Sport last week, a fee of €70 million was agreed upon to bring the Portugal international to Old Trafford.
The 24-year old has also been linked to Tottenham and most recently Real Madrid, by Sky Sports and O Jogo respectively.

As seen in the tweet above, Schira also said that the Portugal international will sign a contract with the Premier League giants that’ll see him earn €6 million a year plus bonuses.
Manchester United have already signed Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer and are on the brink of landing Harry Maguire for £80 million according to Sky Sports.
Fernandes will also be a massive addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad and the Red Devils will hope to have a very, very good chance of finishing in the top four of the Premier League in the upcoming season with such important potential additions.
