According to a recent report by AS, Sporting CP have offered Real Madrid a chance to secure the signature of Bruno Fernandes before the European transfer window shuts down on September 2nd. The same source has also claimed that the Portuguese giants are on the lookout for a club that can match their demands for the Liga NOS prospect and have reached out to Los Blancos via agent Jorge Mendes.
Bruno Fernandes’s Majestic Rise To The Top Of Portuguese Football
The 24-year-old was in prolific form for the Liga NOS outfit last season when he put in numerous goal-scoring displays across various competitions. Fernandes enjoyed a rich vein of form for Sporting during pre-season, but he has still not managed to find a new club this summer.
The Portuguese prospect registered 32 goals in 53 matches while also creating 18 assists for the Lisbon giants on all fronts in the 2018-19 campaign. His outstanding performances earned him the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year award last season.
Fernandes has secured 12 international caps for Portugal but has only netted one goal for his nation thus far. He is highly versatile as he usually operates in the number 10 position but can also fill in as a box to box midfielder or as a central striker up top. The Sporting skipper was also instrumental behind Portugal’s success in the UEFA Nations League earlier this summer when they got the better off Netherlands by claiming a 1-0 win in the final.
What Will The European Rising Star Bring To The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium?
Fernandes has all the skillset required to be a future Galactico and will undeniably bolster Zinedine Zidane’s attacking options at the Spanish capital.
The Portuguese talent is a serial goal-scorer from midfield and can also orchestrate some decent chances for his teammates in the final third. He is a potent threat in the attacking third of the pitch so Los Blancos will do well to prise him away from Portugal during this summer transfer window.
Should Zidane Make A Late Move For Fernandes?
At 24, Fernandes is about to embark upon the prime years of his playing career which the Galacticos could look to benefit from over the next few campaigns. The Portugal international has great technique and can be a real game-changer as he is a consistent goal-getter and an assist maker for his team. Thus, Zidane should try everything in his power to grind out a deal to bring Fernandes to the Bernabeu before the end of this transfer window.
