Manchester United seeks new contract for Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United is working to secure a new contract for captain Bruno Fernandes, though negotiations face challenges regarding the length of the agreement. While the club holds an option to keep the midfielder until 2028, they are reportedly considering a new deal that could extend his stay until 2029, with an additional option for another year.

A primary point of discussion is how long the club should commit to the 33-year-old player. One potential solution being explored is an appearance-based clause, where the contract length could automatically increase based on his involvement in matches.

Despite interest from various clubs in the Saudi Pro League and top European sides like Atletico Madrid and Juventus, United’s hierarchy remains determined to retain the influential midfielder. The club is balancing the desire to keep a key performer against the risks associated with long-term commitments to aging players.
