Manchester United's move for Bruno Fernandes is
OFF as they 'refuse to meet Sporting Lisbon's £68m asking price' for
Portugal midfielder
- Manchester United's move for Bruno Fernandes has reportedly been called off
- The Red Devils have been locked in talks with Sporting Lisbon in recent weeks
- It's been claimed that co-chairman Joel Glazer has walked away from the deal
- Sporting want up to £68m for Fernandes, with more of the fee paid up-front
Manchester United's move for Bruno Fernandes is reportedly off after they refused to meet Sporting Lisbon's £68million asking price.
United believe the demands are 'unreasonable' and have elected to break off from negotiations, according to The Sun.
United had been confident of completing a £55m deal for the Portugal midfielder earlier this week.
Talks between the two clubs hit an impasse over the weekend, with the Portuguese giants unhappy with the structuring of the deal.
The two clubs have been at loggerheads over the fee, with Sporting holding out for as much as £68m. United are said to have offered £42.5m up-front, with a further £8.5m in add-ons.
Sporting were not satisfied with the add-ons and wanted more of the fee in advance, believing that the 25-year-old midfielder, who stormed off the pitch and pushed a camera after Tuesday night's defeat by Braga, would be unlikely to meet the clauses in the deal.
The Sun claim that co-chairman Joel Glazer has now decided to walk away from the deal as he does not think Fernandes is worth what Sporting are demanding.
