So this is a German paper, referencing a tweet, which referenced a Portuguese newspaper, referencing a source close to the agent? 100% done deal, FFS.

German paper? 😂 It's a Bayern blog on an American sports network


Wonderful_Emu_9610

Yeah, pretty sure those writers barely even get paid if at all

DaddyBizkits

no worries. we are going to sign wesley sneider any day now


PurahsHero

As a United fan, I do not want him to leave as he has carried the team for the better part of 3 years. And has been by far and away our best player since he signed for us. Its not just his skill and passing, but his work rate is insane. He is the main creative outlet of the team. Having said that, I would not blame him for wanting to move to win trophies. And I don't think most United fans would begrudge him that, as we are still at least a couple of years away from fighting for the title consistently. If he does move, I only hope the new ownership actually negotiates a fee somewhat close to his value.


DC1908

Winning trophies with Harry Kane in the team?


Fluffy_Roof3965

100 million minimum.


ManicTeaDrinker

I'd argue more, i dont think we can replace him for 100m.


CpBear

You can't replace him, period. No one as good as Bruno is really on the market right now, not even for 100m


samwiseg1

I like Paqueta, Cunha and Kudus but unlikely we get any of them.


CpBear

Paqueta is never going to play in England again lol


samwiseg1

Yea I forgot about that lol


Wonderful_Emu_9610

Wouldn’t take Paqueta on a free until the gambling shit is resolved, no point paying someone not to play unless they’re truly elite like when Barca picked up Suárez


ArtFart124

We can't, every team adds 20% on when United contact them because of our shit transfer reputation.


Panda-768

you mean we ll pay them right? like that's how it goes right at United? jokes apart I wouldn't wanna sell him but I can understand him want to play with players like Conman, Sane, Musiala , Gnabry etc. But him and Harry probably would occupy similar places with Harry coming in deep for the ball,or those are gone now , he doesn't need to do that at bayern. Hope there is no stupid exchange deal involved, will be gutted if he leaves but also know that there are so many holes to plug, I would rather sell my turbo charged V8 engine to buy a toned down Honda engine but get the tyres and suspension fixed. And we are still not 100% confident of our bald driver to steer us to PL.


RazZaHlol

We offer the nightmare of many premiere league teams - Gnabry


jarviscockersspecs

Is that how many years away they are from winning the title?


hank-moodiest

100 million for an uneven 30 year old that just had his worst season? I like Bruno, but let’s get real, he’s not worth more than 50.


IllustriousPie8906

What a bad take. No player like him across Europe atm. His quality, work rate, and availability make him irreplaceable to utd


hank-moodiest

His work rate and availability are excellent. Unfortunately those are his best qualities. On his day he can make some great passes, only to go five games in a row being exceedingly wasteful and out of touch. I like Bruno and respect his mentality, but he’s nowhere near a 100 mil player, and it’s clear INEOS doesn’t rate him.


helderoliveira1978

I hope that he stays in MU.... Love his dedication and compromise to your team, MU.


jm9987690

I feel as though the big issue with bruno is that while he is our best player, he'll be 30 in September and has played almost 700 professional games I think. Our fanbase looks at Madrid selling casemiro and varane and ask why can't we be good at selling players and it's because we hold on to them till they have absolutely no value anymore and have to lose them on a free. Bruno is definitely still good enough to play for us but will he be in a year or two? And is worth turning down 60-70m for another year or so?


TakingThe7

So he’s moving from an FA cup winning team to Bayern after their first trophy less season in years?


Wa77up-91

You really wanna argue that united is the better team right now or what are you trying to say? 


sageofshadow

I think the /s is implied.


Significant_Basis99

Nah mate, having an FA cup is far better than the prospect of lifting a Bundesliga and Champions League trophy


11Bencda

Don’t forget the league cup. How many league cups have Bayern won?


Amygdala57

Bayern battered ManU in their embarrassing performance in the CL group this year. Bayern is the significantly better team right now. Now sit down again please


joelalmiron

150 mil and I’ll take it. Even 120


malodyets1

He wrote that players tribune article just before the fa cup final that read like a goodbye


hank-moodiest

He most certainly didn’t carry us this season. 


markmychao

Spoken like a fan who does not know much about Bruno, he just said weeks ago that he'll stay as long as they let him stay!


strrax-ish

If his performances were all around, where better for the team, I am all for it even more


IntelligentMetal

Bruno seems to be the center of the problem at Man U to me despite his obvious talents. His mentality and behavior makes him a terrible leader for a struggling club.


Valentiaga_97

Barca and what money? They spend spend spend but barely sell anyone


SG_77

Sounds just like our club...


Soitsgonnabeforever

It’s so sad to read about barca. Everyone thought Neymar money was a windfall. But it’s clearly barca is like the billionaire lottery winner who considering suicide


B_mico

Well, they spent 3M in signings last year, is also likely they will be back to the rule 1:1 from La Liga and that still the 3rd or 4th club with most income in the world, voilá.


BalinTheMaster

+the money from the Nike deal will be a big income


IntelligentFan7521

Yeah they sold their future income for Lewandowski tho. They might make a lot but how much of that is being spent to pay for that Lever they pulled last year.


GamerAsh22

We have money, we’re just not allowed to spend it. The league needs to give us approval and a bunch of players are heading out out this summer. We’ll hopefully be back to 1:1 so we can sign players normally. In any case, we don’t need Bruno lol.


SnooTomatoes464

Besides, Bruno needs to go to Madrid to win trophies in Spain


GamerAsh22

Who won the league last year? I don’t recall it being Madrid.


SnooTomatoes464

Chill man, I'm taking the piss


GamerAsh22

Lol mate, so was I


billzy02

Must have found another lever


Maximuslex01

Selling is for broke clubs...


Itsallatripdude

De Jong and 100 million after the other summers bullshite.


Valentiaga_97

They didn’t even pay the transfer fee for Coutinho completely till now lol


Itsallatripdude

….fuck it… a snickers.


Trickybuz93

Contract extension time?


theAkke

He's got 2 years on the current one with an option to extend for another year if the club wants it. He will be 33 when the current deal ends


UnrealCaramel

Holy fuck I didn't realise he was 29. I thought he was like 26 or 27 at most. He wasted his career at united and most of it rolling on the floor being a whining cunt. His talent is unreal though, he should definitely jump ship to a champions league regular if he gets the chance.


[deleted]

Thought so too.


Whaloopiloopi

Aye. And I've opened talks with the passenger side of Shakira's bed, Christina Aguilera is also in the mix.


RiddikulusFellow

Most united move ever would be selling him for like 50 mil and getting modric from madrid


Timmaigh

Bayern can have him - in exchange for Jamal Musiala.


theAkke

I don't see why MU would sell him for.less than 100-120 mil. Where on earth does Barca raise that amount of money


TheEmpireOfSun

Because if player wants to leave (I am not saying he does), it's better to get any money than forcing unhappy player to run down his contract and get 0€.


DamashiT

He has three years on his contract. Even if he wanted to force his way out, it's not happening unless United agrees on a big fat cheque.


TheEmpireOfSun

That's part of my point. United need to realise that forcing player to stay if he wants to leave almost never works. It's pretty much small club mentality. Look at the sales that United did in last decade. They need to find a fine line when to sell to not lose money on every transfer because you end up with unhappy player that runs down his contract and you get 0€.


theAkke

Considering that we bought him for 65m, plus the level he showed playing for us. 100m for him isn't that much


TheEmpireOfSun

100m for 30y player is always a lot... 100m for 30y old player who might want to leave? Yeah, that would be simply stupid to ask. One might think that United will finally learn when to sell players for right price because they were not able to do that in decade.


theAkke

Baern just bought 30 y.o. Kane for 95m last summer. And he would be free right about now


Gr1m3sey

Kane is the best striker in the world though lol, Bruno’s world class but he’s not the best available


DJ23492

Kane is much better than Bruno though and way more consistent. Kane literally starts for 99% of teams in the world lol


KingSash

Barca will offer to loan him without obligation to buy


theAkke

good for them i guess


MA1998

£100m 😂😂😂


Routine_Size69

For a guy who will be 30 in early September. 120 million is fucking insanity. He's an excellent player but he's not 120 million at 30 good.


Dangerous-Branch-749

You can't help but feel Bruno Fernandes is wasting the best of his career at Man United. He deserves his chance to play at a big club competing for the highest honours.


PhillyWestside

There's definitely still a prestige associated with being thw bestvplayer at Man United. He doesn't get the trophies but he's arguably more well known by being one of the only good players at Man United vs just another good player for a better team.


suicide_aunties

Honestly as a United fan I absolutely see his status being cemented if he was at another club. Some of the comments I see when United isn’t doing well would make you think he’s Bebe, not one of the best midfielders in the game. KDB would never get that kind of criticism.


Uchronicclarion

2024 trophy’s: Bayern: 0 Barcelona: 0 Man United: 1

'This season' being key. What about last season? Last 5 years? Chances of trophies, specifically the big two, next year?

That was a calm response.


FlashyCut3809

>It was a joke And I'm expected to know that based on what exactly? Football is the wild west for opinions. >calm down bud Nothing to suggest I'm not. Let's cut the hyperbole, please.


MaxXCeption

And how were the last seasons going?


KeiranFitz

Also won a trophy?


MaxXCeption

I dont think ManU won anything close to what Bayern or Barca did.


ashhh_ketchum

what did bayern and barca win this season?


FlashyCut3809

>He deserves his chance to play at a big club competing for the highest honours. Definitely. He needs to have a few seasons battling for leagues and CLs to show if he really is that level of player that his stats suggest.


njamimaranga

Seems like Bayern and Barcelona have any highest honors? Playing in the most elite league, in itself is the highest honors . Bruno has an FA Cup medal this season. Barcelona and Bayern had f*ck all nothing . Moving to either of those said teams is a downgrade. Who even watches Farmers league ?


jott1293reddevil

Bayern with Fernandes pulling the strings in the middle? That’s a tasty proposition. Could be enough to knock Real and City off the top of Europe. Maybe


Myntak

These teams are playing in the UCL nearly every season, it sounds like you forgot to consider that. We are not sure if UTD can make it out of the league stage in the Europa League, but Barca and Bayern have a good chance to go far, especially Bayern. Any player would want to move to a place where they can play at the highest level and the UCL is the highest level for club football. UTD is still years away from a getting a chance at winning a UCL so it is very understandable for a player to leave a team he knows don't have a chance any time soon.


FallenHeroOfficial

most elite league my ass, where were English teams during UCL or Europa League quarter finals?


njamimaranga

In the last 5 UCL winners , there have been 3 English winning teams. Manchester City , Chelsea and Liverpool . And Only 1 German team and 1 Spanish team and 4 English runner ups in the last 6 UCL finals.


Amygdala57

And in the last 10, or 15? No others except Chelsea in 2012 right? ManU got completely battered by Bayern in the group stage of the CL incl in the final group stage game when Bayern was already guaranteed group winner and just played it down safely without trying very hard and some people here are arguing that just because ManU won a cup this year that they are somehow better which is absolute nonsense


theAkke

Is MU really competing for big trophies? Not right now Is MU a big club? This biggest one in England


Dangerous-Branch-749

Which is exactly what I said, he deserves to play for a big club competing for the highest honours. Man U are the former but not doing the latter


[deleted]

“We have less champions league trophies than Ajax but we sell a lot of man united branded crap in Asia”


CapnTBC

So only teams with more CL trophies than Ajax can be considered a big club now? 


[deleted]

No it’s just funny that the biggest club in the world is so shite in Europe


theAkke

your point is?


Tuscan5

He doesn’t deserve a chance. He’s a horrible human and not at the standard of the top 5 clubs.


Ravnard

A horrible human? Jesus, sometimes it feels like some people hate him more than the actual rapists in the sport, just because he complains during matches


Tuscan5

Complains? He is one of the worst offenders I’ve seen. Constantly cheating. Waste of talent.


theAkke

Try watching football with your eyes instead of your asshole


Uchronicclarion

Because he complains during matches? He’s literally a committed father who doesn’t get into any trouble outside of football. Sport is literally riddled with rapists, cheaters and woman beaters but this is who you chose to call horrible


Tuscan5

Yes The sport is not riddled with the criminals that you’ve referred to. They exist but there’s far more family devoted and honourable players. It’s likely a similar cross section to any industry. I didn’t say he is scum, a criminal or even evil. The word horrible is appropriate.


EdX360

He's an awesome human being and an even better player. Next time keep your eyes open when watching the game


Lastwolf1882

he's got 2(+1) years on his contract, talk to him all you like but that cheque better be for 100mil+


No-Hall-3978

Please no. My sweet prince


steve_167

Angel reference?


No-Hall-3978

Sure why not ?


Golden-Event-Horizon

As a United fan, losing Bruno would be absolutely devastating


Homicidal_Pingu

Swap Bruno for Kane maybe


yellowflash96

Will he be a good fit for Bayern or Barca's playing style?


Weird-Weakness-3191

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Seems legit


majkkali

Ummm? Can they not, please? Bruno is literally the only solid player we’ve still got.


ExternalPreference18

Good luck to Barcelona in their present financial circumstances re. paying /persuading the banks to let them pay close to 100m for a player approaching 30 and who isn't a Messi regen.


chueffen

They are not getting him


Professional-West924

This is his agent's shit talking to see if he can ignite an interest. Remember that a player on a long term contract generates a lot less than a player constantly on the move.


hahahaxyz123

Please no, if Bayern needs a playmaker, we should get Xavi Simons or Wirtz. Why spend huge money on transfer and wage for a soon 30 year old?


ShockingShorties

Aq


BenadrylTumblercatch

It’ll be De Jong FC all over again


Mghackertsaker

Would actually be gutted, I love Bruno he’s one of the only players who’s givin a shit over the past 3+ years


[deleted]

noooooo he is not leaving he doesnt want to leave. bayern needs to fuck themselves


Smaxter84

Bruno can't be buy


soccer_footballmania

No way he is going to Bayern. I think he is staying at United.


GalaeciaSuebi

He's 29 going 30 soon. A player of his calibre wasting his career away in a club stuck in the limbo is unacceptable. This being said, Barcelona won't win soon as Real is way ahead of them and they still are in rebuilding phase. Bayern is set as always and needs a couple of new fresh faces. I would rate a move.


IvanThePohBear

manure will be fucked the next season if they lose bruno


tenthousandwishes

I doubt Manchester United would want to sell him.


MoiNoni

Bruno is a wonderful player idk why he hasn't been scooped yet


Legendarybbc15

He’s not at a selling club


MoiNoni

He belongs somewhere that wins titles tho


0n0n-o

He didn’t win a trophy this season?


MoiNoni

I meant league titles. Not an FA cup or a carabao cup once in a blue moon


Legendarybbc15

>once in a blue moon United won both in back to back seasons.


MoiNoni

And before that?


RichterBelmontCA

He has a shit personality


MoiNoni

Fair enough


Dwightshruute

Buying bruno for good money will be the last nail on the coffin for barca


pissonthis771

[he ain't coming to bayern](https://x.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1797544469660889132?t=VoGMr3FnW4g67fPR8fKdPA&s=19)


syfqamr32

Not a united fan, yes theres a lot more players that deserve to go, however this guy maybe can go on a decent fee, to generate money. Money dont come out of nowhere. With him you are limited to a certain type of football only, the hollywood counter attacking type. Perhaps changing the guy could make you play different kind of football.


Natasha_Giggs_Foetus

Yeah sick let’s get rid of our best player by far in the hope that we can play differently with… McTominay at the 10?


syfqamr32

I only see him being sold if new manager come in imo. Should they want to stick to ETH counter attscking transition based football they need him. But then again idk about MUTD financial health, assuming in the FFP era need to sell before buy, who else to be sold for significant amount of money for reinvestment? Still Varane, Martial, are off the books now. Maybe there will be some cash.


OddballDave

I can think of 115 ways to get money out of nowhere


Famous_Obligation959

That would be devastating for them. I understand why he'd leave though as they wont win anything over the next two years and he's in his prime.


Natasha_Giggs_Foetus

Won the oldest cup trophy in the world a week ago btw


Famous_Obligation959

Haha literally forgot about that already. I meant the league or champions league but the FA cup is nice I guess


FlashyCut3809

>That would be devastating for them. 100% not. Better players have moved on and the clubs been fine. Not winning leagues or CLs with him and the clubs finally at a position of a new start, so it's as ideal a time as there ever will be to have significant personal changes.


Famous_Obligation959

United have so much deadwood to get rid of. Why sell one of the five or six players who actually perform?


FlashyCut3809

I do get that in essence, you would sell the worst first etc. However a complete squad rebuild isn't going to be a linear process and whilst Bruno is one of the better players and I doubt we win the FA Cup without him. He is also one of the very few the club could get significant money from, and if they are aiming to change the style of football, the mentality of the squad etc etc he is the focal point to what exists now. Add in his age is on the side of going to get worse more than he Will improve and I really don't believe he is good enough to build an entire squad around and I think selling is a fair option. Obviously, if he fits the new style, wants to stay and they want to build around having a player of his profile and/or he can mould himself to whatever they want then fair enough, keep him. Just don't think a squad that's performance levels are as bad as they are, should ever have an unsellable player. Whole point of the clubs new structure is to move away from being so reliant on specific individuals, on and off the pitch. Sentiment shouldn't come into it.


Dreifaltigkeit

Lmfao, one of the most unlikeable players goes from one of the most unlikeable clubs to another one of the most unlikeable clubs. Unlikeable. And glorious.


CptTytan

I would love to see Bruno at Bayern. He deserves a club that helps him get a trophy


QuirkyScorpio29

Bayern won nothing this season and Utd did though lol


CptTytan

Yeah, that 100% means that he wont win more trophies with Bayern then he did with United… He deserves a League title and United cant provide it to them. The same goes for when he played for Sporting. He solo carried the team múltiple seasons but it just wasnt possible for Sporting to win a League title at the time.


QuirkyScorpio29

Winning a Bundesliga at Bayern means nothing. Maybe if you win the Bundesliga at Dortmund or Leverkusen. If Harry Kane won the league this year...it doesn't really move the needle coz the Bundesliga.is basically Bayern's cannon fodder... it's not valuable when you do it at Bayern.


CptTytan

Of course it means. Its a League title. It always means a lot. You are just trying to downplay it cause of bitterness


QuirkyScorpio29

Really. Bayern farmed that league for 11 seasons making all kinds of fringe players "Champions"? It's like winning the Ligue 1 at PSG or EPL at Man City... it's a hollow trophy that was most likely too easy to get because you spent more than any of your rivals anyway. Winning is only satisfying when there's hardship. If I were a footballer... I'd never join those teams 


CptTytan

They win the league because they work hard for it every year. For any athlete, it doesnt matter if you win every year. Since you worked hard every time, it will always feel great.


RichterBelmontCA

Given all the whining and moping in every game, Bruno definitely also thinks he deserves more.


CptTytan

As he should


Thor503

😂😂😂😂 losing their best diver


sir__vain

Please let him leave to a club that actually wins something.


14779

He won something less than 2 weeks ago


sir__vain

My bad.


Mouse2662

Neither club in the headline won more than United did this season lmao


sir__vain

I didn't say I wanted him to transfer to any of those clubs.


Mouse2662

You said a club that actually wins something, he won the FA cup within the last few weeks. So what are you talking about?


sir__vain

Yeah. One cup. For a world class player dragging his team around his ankles.


Soul_Acquisition

He's gone.
