Manchester United could be in line to sign Aleksey Batrakov as a long-term successor to Bruno Fernandes, thanks to a bargain release clause in the player's contract. Reports indicate that the clause makes a potential transfer financially viable for the Premier League club.
The 2026 report suggests that Batrakov's current club has set a release fee that represents good value in the current market, potentially allowing United to secure a creative midfielder with a similar profile to Fernandes.
While no official bid has been confirmed, the existence of the clause has placed Batrakov on United's radar as they plan for life after their current captain.
