The strategist of Lisbon's "Sporting" team, Silas, admitted that they might lose Bruno Fernandes in the near future.
In recent weeks, Fernandes has been linked with a move to "Manchester United." It is said that the player has already agreed on personal contract terms, but the negotiations have not reached a final point, as the clubs cannot agree on the ultimate transfer fee.
When asked after recent matches whether he believes B. Fernandes will still be with the team next week, Silas replied: "I don't know, but at this moment I hope so. Bruno will still be on my mind when I start preparing for the next matches. However, many things can happen during that time."
"He is a player who wants to play in a better league than the Portuguese championship. What footballer wouldn't want to come and play in the English Premier League? I don't intend to stop him from pursuing his own goals.
Bruno deserves to play in a league with many world-class stars. If he thinks he is one of the best players in the world, then he has to come there," the strategist said.
