Manchester United have yet to give up on the pursuit of Sporting CP midfielder Bruno Fernandes as they make another offer to keep Barcelona out of contention, Sky Sports reports.<\/p>\n
Report said that United increased their offer twice in the past 24 hours, the second for a deal which could be worth 80m euros.<\/p>\n
Thus after weeks of negotiations, United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has reached an agreement with Sporting’s director Hugo Viana which could see an initial fee of 55m euros plus add-ons for Fernandes, with the deal eventually rising to 80m euros.<\/p>\n
Sporting CP officials in Lisbon are waiting for all relevant documentation to arrive, be checked and then signed off to trigger the agreement for Fernandes to move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Man United have less than 72 hours to finalized the deal.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are becoming more interested to sign Fernandes after the signing of Rodrigo Moreno failed to materialize despite agreeing a deal and undergoing medical at Nou Camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
