Bruno Fernandes remains a Sporting Lisbon player as talks continueManchester United are still short of Sporting Lisbon's valuation of Bruno Fernandes, with talks continuing between the two clubs. On Thursday the two sides were as much as £10m apart in their valuation with United willing to pay £42m having initially agreed a £55m deal in principle. As discussions continue, United are now willing to pay just over £46m. Last week, Sporting were optimistic they had the basis of a deal with United to buy the 25-year old midfielder. As negotiations stalled with United changing their stance, Mendes, who has been advising Sporting on transfers since last summer, suggested to Sky Sports News United risked missing out on a deal if they waited much longer.
