Transfer rumours linking Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes with a move to Galatasaray have been reignited by a social media interaction from his Portugal teammate Rafael Leao. During the Portugal national team's camp ahead of a match against Norway, a Galatasaray fan called out "Come to Galatasaray" to Fernandes, who responded with a smile. A video of the moment was shared online, and Leao later left a simple eye-emoji comment on the post.
Leao's reaction sparked interpretations on social media that he was monitoring a potential move for Fernandes from within the camp. Manchester United are reluctant to let their captain leave, but his contract is entering its final year. Galatasaray had pursued the Portuguese playmaker intensely during the previous summer window.
The speculation emerges as Galatasaray sit second in the Süper Lig with 13 points from 6 games. Their recent form reads three wins and two losses (LWLWW) from the last five matches, following a 4-0 defeat to Trabzonspor on 19 September. The team's next fixture is at home against 8th-placed Kasımpaşa on 9 October.
