– Manchester United are braced for bids from clubs in Saudi Arabia<\/a> for captain Bruno Fernandes in January, according to the Manchester Evening News<\/a>. The outlet’s sources suggest Bruno<\/a> will be offered more than double his salary from SPL clubs once the transfer window reopens. The 31-year-old was the subject of a reported \u00a3100 million bid from Al Hilal<\/a> back in the summer, which was rejected by Man United. However, after a slow start to the new season, the club could now be keen to cash in on their star midfielder — and use any funds raised to finance an offer for a long-time target.<\/p>\n

– Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic is attracting interest from a host of European clubs, according to Bild<\/a>. Manchester City are said to be among his admirers, as they line up a long-term replacement for 2024 Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, while Juventus<\/a> and Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> are also keen. Pavlovic, 21, has played 12 times for Bayern this season, and is a Germany<\/a> international with five caps to his name. With a contract that runs until June 2029, he won’t be easy to prise away from the Bundesliga<\/a> champions.<\/p>\n
