After Europa League heartbreak, the Portuguese captain prepares to exit Old Trafford — Inzaghi confirms Inter’s bid in sensational twist.
European football reels from a seismic development: following Manchester United’s crushing loss in the Europa League final to Atalanta, Bruno Fernandes has firmly decided to depart the club. His frustrations over years without major trophies, growing internal discord, and doubts over the sporting vision have pushed the Portuguese maestro toward the exit door.
In a bombshell move, Inter Milan has acted swiftly. The Italian giants submitted a formal €60 million bid, which was publicly confirmed by coach Simone Inzaghi himself in a press conference that stunned reporters:
“Yes, it’s true. We’ve made an offer for Bruno Fernandes — a phenomenal talent and a true leader. He fits perfectly into our vision for the future.”
Fernandes, who joined United in 2020, swiftly became the heartbeat of the team, delivering goals, assists, and consistently commanding performances. But recent seasons saw his influence waning amid the club’s tactical disarray and stagnation. The Europa League final defeat was reportedly “the final straw.”
Though United values their No. 8 between €70–80 million, the seriousness of Bruno’s desire to leave and Inter’s structured approach could lead to a swift resolution. Inter sees Fernandes as a marquee addition — not just in technical brilliance, but in leadership and European pedigree, especially with potential exits looming (like Barella or Calhanoglu).
Behind the scenes, club president Giuseppe Marotta is already negotiating personal terms, reportedly preparing a four-year contract worth over €7 million per season.
While Inter’s ultras light up social media with dreams of a Fernandes-Calhanoglu partnership, doubts remain whether the Nerazzurri can finance such a deal without offloading key players.
One thing is undeniable: Inter has fired a shot across the continent. The Bruno Fernandes saga is far from over — but its implications are already monumental. Stay tuned for dramatic developments in t
he days ahead.
