Juventus 'desperate to sign Bruno Fernandes'

Juventus have reportedly identified Manchester United attacker Bruno Fernandes as a leading transfer target.

The 26-year-old has been in brilliant form for the Red Devils since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, scoring 38 goals and registering 24 assists in 74 appearances in all competitions.

Fernandes has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2025, but there has recently been speculation surrounding his future, with the Portuguese allegedly waiting to see what happens with fellow midfielder Paul Pogba before making a final decision on whether he will remain with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side on a long-term basis.

According to Calciomercato, Juve 'fell in love' with Fernandes during his time in Italy, and the Old Lady are determined to bring him back to Serie A in the near future.

The report claims that the Italian giants would now have to pay in excess of £100m for the Portugal international, and they regret passing up the chance to sign him earlier in his career.

Fernandes, who has scored 26 goals and registered 16 assists in 52 appearances at club level this term, has previously played in Italy for Novara, Udinese and Sampdoria.
