Manchester United<\/a> intend to reject any offer for Bruno Fernandes before next month’s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport was told last week that Turkish club Galatasaray, plus Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan, were considering whether to test United’s resolve to keep their captain.<\/p>\n

It is thought Galatasaray had a deal they were intending to put to United, which would reach a final fee of 50m euros (\u00a342.7m).<\/p>\n

However, the message from senior sources at Old Trafford is that Galatasaray would be wasting their time.<\/p>\n

Although last summer they told Fernandes it was his call whether to accept the mammoth offer put to him by Saudi Pro-League outfit Al-Hilal, with the Portuguese later admitting he felt “hurt” by that stance<\/a>, this time around United have made their position clear.<\/p>\n

Club sources say, as yet, there have been no bids for the 31-year-old, but add that he is not for sale at any price.<\/p>\n

Fernandes has one year left on his current deal, with an option for an additional season. It is known he would prefer to stay. <\/p>\n

A \u00a357m release clause in the Portugal international’s contract has now expired.<\/p>\n

So far, there has been no agreement over an extension.<\/p>\n

While United are in a strong negotiating position, the enthusiastic reception for Fernandes in Dublin for last week’s pre-season encounter with Leeds<\/a> would have left the club in no doubt supporters would react badly if it was not clear they are doing everything possible to keep their talisman.<\/p>\n

Fernandes recorded a Premier League record 21 assists last season and is favourite to be crowned PFA Player of the Year for 2025-26 in Manchester next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United intend to reject any offer for Bruno Fernandes before next month’s transfer deadline.
