Bruno Fernandes's massive hint to Real Madrid, the image goes viral worldwide

Real Madrid is moving forward with its roadmap to completely regenerate Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The achievement of the generational change is close to becoming a reality, especially after the four signings made by the Merengue executives in this summer's transfer window.

However, some moves are still pending, according to the coaching staff led by Xabi Alonso, which are more than necessary to bring this process to a close. One of those signings is that of a creative midfielder, preferably with a defensive profile. The list of players who fit that profile is relatively broad, so a final cut is still needed.

One of the players who appeared on Real Madrid's radar is Bruno Fernandes. The veteran Manchester United midfielder has emerged as an option for the club's executives according to multiple transfer rumors. Nothing could be further from the truth: for reasons such as his age, he has no place or fit in the current Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

That doesn't stop the Red Devils footballer from continuing to offer some nods to the club. One of the latest images published on his social media has a close connection to Real Madrid, even though the one who proudly wears the Merengue jersey is his son. The first Manchester United captain's child, seen from behind, poses in Jude Bellingham's jersey.

Attracting attention

The print on little Fernandes's jersey doesn't lie: the "5" of the English midfielder stands out clearly, as does the surname of the British all-rounder from Real Madrid. This nod to the club presided over by Florentino Pérez is no coincidence: the image published by Bruno Fernandes explains why his son is wearing the club's jersey.

The birthday of Bruno Fernandes's youngest son, decorated with a soccer and video game theme, has been the perfect excuse for this nod to the Merengue squad. The Valdebebas offices haven't issued any reaction, given that the current roadmap is far from what Bruno Fernandes himself can offer.

Meanwhile, the Merengue sporting management considers him a footballer of great quality, there are multiple reasons that rule him out from being included in the list of potential signings for the summer of 2026. One of the most notable is his age... as well as the proximity of Saudi Arabia, which is said to have sent lucrative offers to Manchester United's "8" to prompt a team change.

Nevertheless, this image that has gone viral worldwide is a new viral chapter in a long list of episodes that Real Madrid constantly stars in. After all, practically everyone in the European football elite aspires, one day, to play at home at Santiago Bernabéu.
