Amidst a multitude of recruitment errors over the past few years, Bruno Fernandes is one of Manchester United’s very few medium-term satisfactions. Arriving in the winter of 2020 from Sporting, the Portuguese attacking midfielder immediately became one of the team’s key players, regardless of who the coach was. For fear of losing him, United offered to review his emoluments. An agreement is now said to be very close.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the discussions have advanced so much between the two parties that the signing of a contract extension would be imminent. In addition to the fact that Bruno Fernandes is now tied to Manchester United until 2027, he will also and above all be entitled to a nice salary increase. According to the transfer specialist, this will make the Portuguese one of the highest paid players at the club.
With the highest income in the club
When his contract was last revised in 2022, Fernandes had agreed to a weekly salary of around €280,000. Once the current negotiations are completed, he is expected to pass the €400,000 per week mark. Enough to make him equal to the highest earners among his teammates.
As an example, and according to the DailymailMarcus Rashford, United’s highest-paid player, is reportedly earning €420,000 per week, slightly more than Casemiro’s €408,000 per week and the €350,000 of flop Jadon Sancho who returned this summer after an unsuccessful loan at Borussia Dortmund. Either way, this renegotiation proves that Mancheter United are keen on Bruno Fernandes more than anything.
