Bruno Fernandes on transfer rumors
Skipper Fernandes is among those that could be moved on as funds are raised for new additions and Ruben Amorim freshens up an underperforming squad. The Portugal international has said of his future: “If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in, it is what it is.”
Bruno can follow Cristiano
Fernandes could now tread a similar path to fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Daily Mail reporting on discussions taking place between the 30-year-old midfielder’s representatives and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
He has a 72-hour decision time
A “take it or leave it” offer is said to have been tabled, with Fernandes having 72 hours in which to make a decision. His agent, Miguel Pinto, has been in Riyadh to talk terms - with Al-Hilal eager to have business completed before the 2025 Club World Cup gets underway. The offer to Fernandes is said to be worth £700,000-a-week, tax free, which will equate to £200m over three years - including bonuses. Al-Hilal are also willing to pay United a £100m ($135m) fee for their talismanic skipper.
