Manchester United has rejected an approach from Galatasaray for their captain, Bruno Fernandes. The Turkish club was prepared to offer a financial package that would have doubled the 31-year-old midfielder's salary, but United maintains that Fernandes is not for sale.
Fernandes is in the final year of his contract, though United holds an option to extend it for another season. The club has no intention of letting him leave, especially in the week before the season begins.
Elsewhere, Manchester City faces a price hike in their pursuit of Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. City missed Chelsea's Friday deadline for offers, and the Blues are now reportedly demanding more than the £120m quoted last week. Chelsea aims to resolve the midfielder's future before their opening game of the season this weekend.
In other transfer news, Bradley Barcola was excluded from Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the French Super Cup on Sunday. This development could boost Liverpool and Arsenal's prospects of signing the 23-year-old France international winger.
