Bruno Fernandes’ proposed move to Manchester United looks to have stalled.
The midfielder had been heavily tipped to join the Red Devils from Sporting this month.
But Fernandes played in Friday night’s clash with Benfica and it has since emerged a deal to take him to United is still some way from being agreed.
SPONSOR AD
According to The Sun, United have made an offer to pay Sporting £34million, with a further £25.5m in add-ons.
But the Portuguese club are said to fear they would get nowhere near the full £60m package because so many payments are linked to unrealisic achievements – such as United winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
Sporting are understood to be seeking a much higher initial down payment and will play hardball with United.
