From Bayern Munich’s growing interest in Bruno Fernandes to Serie A clubs monitoring Harry Maguire, here is the latest transfer talk at Old Trafford.

Bayern Munich are considering an £85m bid for Bruno Fernandes

The future of Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United has become brighter, especially after the departure of Ruben Amorim.

According to Fichajes.net, Bayern Munich are preparing a €100m (£85m) bid for the United captain, who is reportedly open to a new challenge after a few seasons at the club.

Bayern are looking at Fernandes as a player who can add leadership and creativity to their team. Although United are reluctant to lose their captain, a bid of this size could force them to make a tough decision before the summer.

For now, Fernandes is expected to stay at the club until the end of the season. Any long-term decisions could depend on how the next few months unfold and how the club’s rebuilding in the summer goes.

Manchester United are confident of a deal for Carlos Baleba

Manchester United are reportedly confident of signing Brighton winger Carlos Baleba this summer. According to the Solezwe report, the club sees Baleba as a midfielder, and scouts have been impressed by his physical presence and composure on the ball.

He is seen as a complement to Kobbie Mainoo in a younger, stronger core.

Baleba has established himself as one of Brighton’s most consistent players this season, attracting the attention of several top clubs.

United believe his skill set fits well with the tactical structure at Old Trafford and can strengthen midfield depth long-term. A formal move is expected to progress before the summer window.

Murillo was added to the defensive shortlist

Manchester United have identified Murillo from Nottingham Forest as a potential long-term signing, according to Sky Sports.

The 21-year-old Brazilian defender is reportedly open to a move this summer, with his ability to play on either side of central defense appealing to United’s staff.

Murillo’s poise on the ball and ability to handle the ball have come to the fore since joining Forest, making him one of the best young defenders in the Premier League.

Although United have yet to make it official, talks about defensive targets continue as the club prepare for the next window.

Harry Maguire on the radar of Milan and Roma

Harry Maguire could leave Manchester United before his contract expires in June 2026, according to a report from Sky Sport Italia.

The defender has made just ten appearances this season and has not featured in the Premier League since November.

Both AC Milan and AS Roma are monitoring his situation, seeing him as a possible short-term solution if terms improve later in the window.
