Bruno Fernandes is already on the market's radar: Manchester United would have set his release price for next summer at 100 million pounds, amid rumors of a possible transfer to the Saudi Pro League.

The Portuguese attacking midfielder rejected a move in the past summer market, prioritizing competing at the highest level. But now the "Red Devils" would be prepared to sell him if an offer that meets their demands comes in.

Bruno Fernandes's million-pound price and exotic destination

According to Indykaila News, a pre-agreement close to those 100 million pounds would have been reached for Fernandes to move to Saudi Arabia in 2026. Manchester United would be prepared to accept the transfer under those conditions.

The club's idea is to use these earnings to strengthen their midfield, with two targets already pinpointed: Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba, prospects that could arrive from the Premier League to fill the void left by Bruno Fernandes.

Although Al-Hilal was one of the clubs that tried to sign him, Fernandes chose to stay. Now his departure seems more viable if price, conditions, and project align. In any case, United demands a high figure as a starting point.

Who are the candidates to replace him?

If Bruno Fernandes leaves Old Trafford, the candidates for the midfield would be Elliot Anderson (from Nottingham Forest) and Carlos Baleba (Brighton). Both have recently been linked to Manchester United as potential replacements for the attacking midfield position.

The English club plans to invest these profits in high-profile youngsters who could establish themselves in view of a restructuring. The operation will depend on the completion of the transfer and whether the target players accept the project.

Why change stance now?

Until recently, Manchester United did not seem in a rush to sell Bruno Fernandes. In the World Cup year, his sporting importance and role as captain gave him extra weight. But with the season underway, the club might prefer to anticipate a decrease in value.

Furthermore, current reports suggest that if his contract nears expiration, the required price could decrease. Although the 100 million figure may set a high threshold, it could also be negotiated based on competition and contract duration.

United's strategy would be clear: maximize their profit from Bruno before losing him for free or weakening his market value.

Risks, consequences, and plausible scenario

If Bruno Fernandes departs, Manchester United would lose a key piece in the attacking midfield. His exit poses a sporting risk, albeit offset by strong earnings. The key will be to secure Anderson and Baleba before finalizing the move.

It will also be crucial to see if Saudi clubs confirm real offers for him. Otherwise, United might abandon the sale. It remains to be seen if the operation comes to fruition, with both parties satisfied.

The impact on the squad would be significant: his replacement, the team's tactical coherence, and how fans accept his departure.

Ultimately, Bruno Fernandes could become Manchester United's major sale next summer, with a departure price nearing 100 million pounds. If the operation goes through, his exit will usher in a new era in the club's midfield.

Manchester United seems determined to make a move, and the Premier League will watch closely how this interplay between club, player, and market unfolds. Ultimately, it will be crucial to see if someone pays that amount for the "Red Devils" star.
