Sporting put £52m price tag on Man Utd, Real Madrid target Bruno Fernandes

Sporting Lisbon have reportedly valued Manchester United and Real Madrid target Bruno Fernandes at £52m ahead of the January transfer window.

The Portuguese midfielder attracted keen interest from both the Red Devils and Los Blancos over the previous summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur, in a bid to replace Christian Eriksen, also pursued Fernandes, with reports suggesting that the North London club produced a £60m bid for the midfielder.

According to Record, Sporting have told potential suitors that they will need to shell out an initial bid of £52m in January to sign the 25-year-old.
