🚨 NEW:
Galatasaray are prepared to DOUBLE Bruno Fernandes’ wages in a bid to lure him away from Manchester United.
The Turkish club are ready to test United’s resolve over him THIS WEEK by proposing a package worth €50m including add-ons. United are steadfastly opposed to selling him.

🚨🚨🌕| NEW: After summer 2023, Manchester United changed the way contracts for new signings and renewals are structured.
The old system gave players an automatic 25% pay rise for Champions League qualification. New contracts only trigger the increase if a player played at least 60% of the previous season's minutes.
Joshua Zirkzee missed that threshold, so his salary did not increase. The logic is to reward regular contributors, avoid paying underperforming or fringe players the same bonus, and save millions in wages.
Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount remain on older contracts and still receive the automatic 25% increase.

Shakhtar value Elias at around £30M.
