Manchester United is preparing to sit down with Bruno Fernandes and hammer out a new deal before the Portuguese midfielder’s current contract runs its course.
Fernandes’s current deal is worth £250,000 per week and is set to expire in June 2026, though it includes a clause for an optional one-year extension that could push it into June 2027. The club reportedly aims to open negotiations before the end of 2026, with a new offer that could reach £375,000 per week plus performance bonuses.
That is a 50% raise.
The Fernandes factor
Fernandes joined Manchester United from Sporting CP in January 2020 for a fee of £47 million. He was handed the captain’s armband and signed a contract extension in April 2022.
