ESPN correspondent Rob Dawson acknowledged the rumor, noting that Manchester United's financial situation requires the club to consider all offers for their players (via ESPN).
Manchester United's financial issues means they will listen to offers for almost every player in the summer. That said, Fernandes has established himself as the key man under Ruben Amorim and the United head coach is looking to get more quality through the door at Old Trafford rather than letting it leave.Rob Dawson
The Daily Star reports that Madrid see the 30-year-old as a potential replacement for Luka Modric, who is expected to leave after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Nonetheless, Dawson doesn't see Amorim letting Fernandes leave.
Fernandes had an offer to leave last summer and decided to stay. United would have to consider a serious offer from Real Madrid -- if it ever arrived -- but he is the last player Amorim will want to lose.Rob Dawson
With Fernandes under contract until 2027, with an option to extend for another year, Manchester United will have to decide whether to listen to the offers as the veteran will have one more year on his contract after next season.
