Galatasaray is prepared to make a massive financial push to secure the signature of Manchester United's key midfielder.

Details: According to renowned The Telegraph journalist James Ducker, the Turkish champions are seriously intent on poaching the 31-year-old Red Devils captain Bruno Fernandes. The Istanbul club is lining up an offer worth €50 million (around £42.8 million), including additional bonuses.

To convince the Portuguese star to make the switch, Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek is ready to offer him a four-year contract with a net annual salary of €21 million, plus a €4 million signing bonus. Thanks to Turkey's favorable tax regime, the midfielder's income could more than double compared to his current earnings in England.

Despite the lucrative proposal, Manchester United remains adamant and insists that Fernandes is not for sale at any price. The buyout clause allowing foreign clubs to sign the player for €65 million, which was valid at the start of the summer, expired last month. The English club's management is counting on their talisman and has no intention of entering negotiations, while the Portuguese international himself has shown no desire to leave the team.
