Barcelona were linked with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes last week, but a move for the 29-year-old playmaker is highly unlikely.
Fernandes has been a standout for Manchester United over the past few years, and as he approaches the latter end of his best years, has been linked with a move away from the Red Devils. It’s been confirmed that his agent was in talks with top clubs last week, following links to Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
🚨 Sevilla have already called Barça for Ansu Fati. The forward already knows that García Pimienta is 'crazy' to have him. @tjuanmarti

However if it sounded a little beyond Barcelona’s budget, Matteo Moretto has confirmed it. The Italian transfer insider has explained that it is ‘difficult’ to see Fernandes making a move to Barcelona due to the economics of any deal. The Catalan giants are also not prioritising a player of his position or role currently, with other areas of the pitch representing more pressing needs.
Barcelona are thought to be looking for a left winger and a defensive midfielder this summer first and foremost, having failed to replace Sergio Busquets, and struggled to find a natural presence on the left since moving to a more traditional 4-3-3, rather than using Gavi there as a fourth midfielder last season.
Another one “almost done” deal that evaporated like almost won trophies last season?
PHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
