The name of Bruno Fernandes is enough to immediately attract attention in the football world. The Portuguese midfielder remains one of the most influential attacking players in Europe, and his numbers continue to prove his importance.
During the last season with Manchester United, Fernandes featured in 58 matches across all competitions, scoring 21 goals and providing 22 assists, confirming himself as a key figure for the Red Devils.
According to Sport Italia, Juventus are among the clubs closely monitoring the situation surrounding the Portuguese star.

The Bianconeri, together with new coach Luciano Spalletti, are keeping an eye on the possibility of bringing a player of Fernandes’ quality to Turin, especially with uncertainty surrounding his future at Old Trafford.
The current situation is linked to contract negotiations between Fernandes and Manchester United. The midfielder’s current deal runs until June 2027, but talks over a possible extension have not yet reached an agreement.
If the two parties fail to find common ground, United could consider selling him in order to avoid the risk of losing one of their biggest assets for free in the future.
Juventus Face a Difficult Financial Challenge
Despite the interest from Juventus, a potential deal would not be simple. Fernandes, now 31 years old, has an estimated market value of around €35 million, while his salary represents the biggest obstacle for any Serie A club.
The Portuguese international currently earns around €18 million per season, excluding bonuses, a figure that would require a significant effort from both Juventus and the player himself to make a transfer possible.
However, his performances explain why top clubs continue to follow him. Fernandes has recorded impressive statistics, including 82% passing accuracy and 115 key passes, while also being recognized as one of the Premier League’s best players.

He won the Premier League Player of the Season award and the prestigious FWA Footballer of the Year award. For Juventus, a player with Fernandes’ creativity, leadership and attacking quality would represent a major addition to Spalletti’s squad.
The Portuguese midfielder could provide the technical ability and experience needed to transform the team’s attacking phase. The situation remains complicated, but the Bianconeri are watching closely, ready to evaluate any opportunity that could emerge in the coming months.
