Liverpool and Tottenham are reportedly keen on Bruno Fernandes.
Sporting playmaker Bruno Fernandes has been quoted by Mais Futebol as saying that he wants to win titles with his next club.
The Portugal playmaker starred in the 1-0 UEFA Nations League win over the Netherlands on Sunday, handing his country the trophy – three years after they won the European Championships.
Fernandes put all the speculation about his future behind him, turning in a strong performance whilst summing up just why so many clubs want to sign him this summer.
With Christian Eriksen potentially moving on, Tottenham Hotspur are being strongly linked with a move to sign Fernandes, but there’s other interest too.
Correio de Manha in Portugal claim that Liverpool are now looking to swoop in with Tottenham dallying over the attacking midfielder, which may set alarm bells ringing in North London.
The 24-year-old racked up a staggering 32 goals and 18 assists in 53 games for Sporting this past season, with his remarkable productivity from open play and dead balls making him a wanted man.
Fernandes has now revealed that whilst the press want to sell him to five or six clubs, he has no idea what his future holds or whether he’ll even move this summer, but wants to win titles with his next club – and that may just give Liverpool hope that they can pip Spurs to his signature having won the Champions League and challenged for the Premier League title this past season.
“I’m calm, I have a contract with Sporting, I’m in a big club,” said Fernandes. “I also have dreams to come true, but I do not know if it’s going to be this year. “
“I still do not know what will happen. I’ve already been sold to five or six clubs, the truth is that I know nothing. Whatever the club, if it happens, I want to know what project they have for me in sporting terms. I want to win titles,” he added.
As much as Mauricio Pochettino wants to get Spurs to a place where they’re challenging for trophies consistently, Liverpool are simply in a better place to go for silverware right now. Add in that Spurs are hesitating anyway, and Liverpool may well emerge from the pack for the former Udinese and Sampdoria star.
