Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese star for Manchester United, nearly transferred to Tottenham just before joining the Red Devils in January 2020. Tottenham made significant efforts to make Fernandes feel comfortable moving to the club under manager Mauricio Pochettino, creating an extremely personalized environment at their training facility. Despite being close to a deal, it ultimately fell through, leading to regret for Spurs. Fernandes is now set to lead Manchester United in the Europa League final against Tottenham, showcasing his vital role in the team despite both clubs having struggled this season.
According to a source close to the deal, speaking to BBC Sport, Fernandes received a mind-blowing offer from Tottenham, who went to great lengths to ensure the player would be happy and settled upon joining the club under Mauricio Pochettino.
Even the rooms at the training ground - each one was decorated just like the players' bedrooms at home, the ones they share with their partners. The bed was exactly the same. Even the flowers in the garden gave off a scent that's meant to be beneficial - it was mind-blowing.
Tottenham will surely be living to regret this as it sounds like this deal was all but done before falling through late on.
Both these under-achieving clubs have had poor Premier League campaigns, but can make up for it tonight by winning a major European trophy, whilst also booking a place in next season's Champions League.
