Bruno Fernandes, target of Man Utd, is the subject of a tender offer of 44.6 million pounds sterling

Sporting Lisbon received an offer from Bruno Fernandes from the Spanish giant Atletico Madrid for 44.6 million pounds.

The Portuguese international is one of the main targets of the Manchester United transfers, but the Red Devils are eager to act quickly now that they are seriously competing for his signature.

Transfer fees should not delay United as they prepare to receive a major offer from Real Madrid or Juventus for Paul Pogba.

But Atletico Madrid, who is ready to sign Fernandez, could, according to A Bola, offer the midfielder of the Champions League, who could see them steal a march on Manchester United.

The sports star has been shy about his future up to this point.

Speaking to Sport Mediaset, Fernandes had previously said: "I do not know anything, I will take the next few days to understand what is true.

"We know that newspapers sometimes have to make a show to move the market and sell, I'm calm, I'm in a big club, I do not have to move, I do not try to leave.

"If the opportunity arises to go to a team that you can not refuse, I will talk to Sporting."

According to Fernandes' comments, the midfielder is ready to discuss the possibility of a move to Atletico Madrid with his club this week.
