Manchester United have reportedly launched a bid for Athletic Club’s standout midfielder Oihan Sancet, positioning him as a potential replacement if Bruno Fernandes departs amid Saudi interest, as reported by Football365.
According to the report, the Red Devils say they’ve contacted Athletic to trigger his hefty €80 million (€67m/£67m) release clause.
Sink into the details:
Sancet, 25, isn’t merely a creative spark—he’s a goalscoring dynamo. This season, he’s delivered 17 goals and 3 assists across La Liga and Europa League.
At 6 ft 2 in, he blends physicality with aerial prowess, sharp passing, diligent off-the-ball work—and, critically, an eye for the spectacular, the kind of flair that changes games in an instant.
Yet, United’s pursuit isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about urgency and destiny.
Fernandes remains the heartbeat of the team—but the lure of Al-Hilal could strain his loyalty. If he walks, the club must act fast, daring, decisive.
Sancet brings not just ability, but energy, vision, and a tangible future, laying a path ahead—whether Bruno stays or goes, and offering hope in a moment that could otherwise feel uncertain.
Will Athletic Bilbao part with a club icon? Only an offer that meets their steep demands could sway them.
This chase isn’t merely a transfer—it’s a pushing of limits. Man Utd need more than a substitute. They need a spark—a new pulse, a heartbeat strong enough to carry them into the seasons ahead.
Would Bruno’s exit define United’s fate—or could Sancet ignite it?
