Saudi Pro League clubs could come back in for Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes in January, while Manchester City see Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlovic as a long-term replacement for Rodri. Join us for the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe.
– Manchester United are braced for bids from clubs in Saudi Arabia for captain Bruno Fernandes in January, according to the Manchester Evening News. The outlet’s sources suggest Bruno 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 £100 million bid from Al Hilal 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.
– Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic is attracting interest from a host of European clubs, according to Bild. 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 and Paris Saint-Germain are also keen. Pavlovic, 21, has played 12 times for Bayern this season, and is a Germany 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 champions.
