Headline: Manchester United Firm on Bruno Fernandes, Rejecting Transfer Interest from Galatasaray
Manchester United has declared that Bruno Fernandes is off the market, firmly stating he is not for sale at any price following interest from Galatasaray. The Turkish champions reportedly expressed interest in the 31-year-old midfielder; however, United officials are resolved to reject any offers that may come their way.
Fernandes is currently in the last year of his contract, but the club holds an option to extend it for another season, and there are no plans to part ways with him. During the summer of 2025, the Portuguese international turned down a substantial offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal to remain at Old Trafford. In light of this, he expressed that he felt “hurt” by the impression that the club was “wanting me to leave.”
Despite these feelings, Fernandes excelled on the field, winning the Footballer of the Year award last season. He set a remarkable record by providing 21 assists in the Premier League campaign. Additionally, he claimed the Sir Matt Busby award, acknowledging him as United’s player of the year for the fifth time, as he helped the team rise from a 15th place finish in 2025 to a top-three position.
Speculation surrounded a potential clause in his contract that might have allowed foreign clubs to sign him for a fixed fee during this summer transfer window; however, that clause expired last month.

Fernandes is in the last year of his contract, though United have the option to extend it for a further season, but they have no intention of letting him go.
The Portugal international received a huge offer from Saudi Arabian Pro-League club Al-Hilal in the summer of 2025.
And while he spurned it to stay at Old Trafford, he subsequently revealed he was “hurt” that he thought the club “wanted me to leave”.
Fernandes nevertheless responded by winning the Footballer of the Year award last season and setting a record by getting 21 Premier League assists in the campaign.
He also won the Sir Matt Busby award for a fifth time as he was voted United’s player of the year again as he helped a team who had come 15th in 2025 to finish in the top three.
He was thought to have a clause that allowed foreign clubs to sign him for a fixed fee this summer but it expired last month.
