[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes earned as much as £9.2 million from image rights. As the Premier League’s top assist provider negotiates a new contract with United, he has pocketed this substantial off-field income. Aged 31, Bruno Fernandes’s current contract enters its final 12 months, yet senior club figures have informed him they are unwilling to let him depart under any circumstances. Manchester United hold an option to extend his deal for a further 12 months, but the club aims to agree a longer-term extension. Last season, he became the first Manchester United player to win the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award since Wayne Rooney 16 years ago. The latest accounts filed by the Portuguese international’s image rights firm reveal he retained the £9.2 million off-field earnings. Documents covering the 2024-25 campaign show he accumulated £9.5 million via BF8 Sports Limited, a company he set up in 2020 specifically to manage his off-field revenue streams. The figure represents an increase of £1.1 million on the previous year, equivalent to nearly £100,000 extra per month. After deducting all expenses, Fernandes recorded a net profit of £9,180,001.
It is worth noting that this sum does not include his playing salary. Bruno Fernandes is reportedly on an annual wage of £12.5 million at Manchester United. Alongside bonuses, image rights and lucrative sponsorship deals with brands including Nike, DHL and EA Sports, he earns millions more. Furthermore, Fernandes owns multiple properties across England and Portugal.
