Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon are reportedly set to ‘meet in the middle’ over a deal for Bruno Fernandes as they could settle on a fee of €55million (£46.9million) plus bonuses.
United are eager to sign the midfielder before the end of this month but Sporting were demanding a fee of £68million.
As reported by Plataforma, United were only willing to pay £42.5million up front but have since returned with an improved offer.
THE report indicates that the deal was close to collapsing but is now likely to happen.
