Captain Bruno Fernandes is on the verge of potentially leaving Manchester United this season, due to a secret buyout clause in his contract that might enable a surprisingly cheap exit.

The future of captain Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United has become a hot topic following reports of a “secret” release clause that permits him to leave for a fee much lower than anticipated.

According to The Sun, Fernandes’ current contract includes a clause allowing clubs outside the Premier League to acquire him for approximately £57 million , a figure believed to be less than the amount United paid to sign him from Sporting Lisbon in 2020.

Having become an icon at Old Trafford as a leader and regularly winning the club’s “Player of the Season” award, Fernandes remains a key player despite some fluctuations in form. His potential departure poses a significant challenge for United in finding a suitable replacement, especially as the team is experiencing a relative revival and needs stability.

Fernandes turned down a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League last summer because he wanted to stay at Manchester and continue pursuing titles. He once said: “I feel good here. I want to fulfill my dreams.”

Nonetheless, United’s current form is still unstable. The team sits 9th in the Premier League with 13 points from 8 matches. While the gap to the top is not large, it clearly reflects an ongoing internal crisis.

This release clause also opens the possibility for Fernandes to leave Man Utd next summer if a foreign club meets the conditions. If the “Red Devils” lose their captain at such a crucial moment, they will face the difficult task of finding a worthy replacement amid an increasingly competitive transfer market.

Although Fernandes remains committed to playing for United at least through this season, clear signs about his future have started to emerge. Fans and the media are closely watching to see whether the captain will stay long-term or begin a new chapter elsewhere.
