Following an extended period of negotiations, the Portuguese midfielder is poised to finalize his long-awaited move to Old Trafford.
Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Bruno Fernandes from Sporting CP, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.
Fernandes will join United following an extended period of negotiations and is due to become the club’s first, and perhaps only, January signing.
The midfielder will head to Old Trafford as part of a deal worth an initial €55 million (£47m/$60m).
MANCHESTER UNITED WILL PAY MORE
United could pay up to €80m (£68m/$88m) for the Portuguese star due to a number of additional clauses that have been agreed to by the two parties.
Man U promised Bruno €5m based on United’s Champions League participation and another €15m related to individual awards.
The deal is still subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms with the midfielder.
