# Liverpool make €45m bid for Bruno Fernandes

Liverpool have made €45m (circa £40m) bid to Sporting CP for Bruno Fernandes, according to a report from [Correio da Manha](https://www.cmjornal.pt/desporto/futebol/detalhe/liverpool-da-45-milhoes-de-euros-por-bruno-fernandes?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=BotoesSite), the most circulated and the leading daily newspaper in Portugal.

Fernandes has been widely [linked](https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/16/atletico-madrid-join-man-utd-race-sporting-lisbons-bruno-fernandes-9972872/) with a number of clubs this summer, most notably Manchester United, but if reports from Portugal are to be believed, the Reds are hoping to hijack any move that United had lined up for him.

Interest in the 24-year-old is expected to be plentiful after his incredible 2018/19 season in which he scored 20 goals and created a further 13 in just 33 league games.

The Portuguese international is expected to leave Sporting this summer and in a [recent interview](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/sporting-bruno-fernandes-i-am-happy-here-but-sometimes-you-can-t-28654), he hinted as much, saying:

> I never said that I wanted to leave, I am happy here. Even so, sometimes you can’t say no to certain offers. I would only leave if Sporting also agree to this. I dream of playing in England.

Tottenham and Man City have also been linked with moves for Fernandes but, if reports in his homeland are to be believed, it’s Liverpool who have made the first attempt to sign the midfielder.
