Manchester United appear to have been boosted in their supposed pursuit of Sporting CP midfielder Bruno Fernandes after Manchester City seemingly pulled out of the race. However, Tottenham Hotspur have now also emerged as a serious contender.
Fernandes has become one of the most talked about players in Europe after a truly phenomenal individual season in which he managed 50 combined goals and assists in all competitions.
The 24-year-old is rumoured to have a release clause of around €100m (£88.6m) and has naturally linked with several of the Premier League's top clubs.
Manchester City were thought to be favourites, but in a rather bizarre twist the club themselves look to have put a stop to the speculation.
