Tottenham Hotspur are still chasing the Sporting Lisbon ace, according to reports.
According to a report from Portuguese media outlet O Jogo, Tottenham have been in talks with Sporting Lisbon all weekend long regarding the transfer of Bruno Fernandes.
It has been claimed by O Jogo that Spurs have offered €60 million (£55 million) – €45 million up front and €15 million in bonuses for the 24-year-old, but Sporting are demanding €70 million (£64.3 million).
Fernandes was on fire for Sporting last season, racking up 32 goals and 18 assists in 53 appearances in all competitions.
That really is an unbelievably prolific return for an attacking midfielder.
And what a signing he would be for Tottenham. In fact, it could be argued that he would be an even better addition than Giovani Lo Celso.
O Jogo claims that Sporting are willing to sell the Portugal international to Spurs, but they are demanding £64.3 million (including bonuses and add-ons).
Super agent Jorge Mendes is now acting as an intermediary in the deal, according to O Jogo.
Tottenham fans will be desperate for Daniel Levy to get a deal for Fernandes over the line before the transfer window slams shut later this week.
The Portuguese ace would be a truly exceptional addition for Spurs, and it seems as though Levy will just have to pay up if he wants his man.
