The Sun reported that MU is ready to listen to any offers for the players who just failed at San Mames, including captain Bruno Fernandes.

Recently, MU rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia for Bruno Fernandes. However, the scenario has changed and the Portuguese player is no longer untouchable.

Bruno Fernandes is 30 years old, earns £300,000 a week but always "disappears" when the team needs him most. According to The Sun, the former Sporting Lisbon player is also mentally prepared to leave Old Trafford once the parties no longer have a common voice.

Arsenal close Rodrygo deal

Arsenal are planning to finalise the transfer of Rodrygo Goes, but the deal is not expected to be completed until after the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Rodrygo had an underwhelming season at Real Madrid. The Brazilian player had to leave, when Xabi Alonso renewed the Spanish Royal team.

There are many offers from English football for Rodrygo. Besides Arsenal, clubs like Man City, MU, Liverpool also open their doors to welcome him.

Recently, Mikel Arteta refused to specifically mention the purchase of Rodrygo. However, he hinted that Arsenal would welcome an important star to complete the goal of winning a major championship in the 2025/26 season.

Barca renews Raphinha

Barcelona have just confirmed the extension of Raphinha, one of the most important players of the season with the double of La Liga and the King's Cup (in addition, there was also the Spanish Super Cup).

From a place that seemed like it would have to leave Barca in the summer transfer window last year, Raphinha exploded in the most impressive way. He is indispensable in Hansi Flick's tactics.

The reward for Raphinha – who has scored 34 goals this season – is a new contract until 2028. He is placed in the second highest paid group in the team, equal to Pedri.

“I started with the mindset that I had to adapt to other positions and different ways of playing. But I am giving my all: if before I worked 100%, now it is 200%,” Raphinha shared.
