Bruno Fernandes is spotted dining with Al-Hilal 'secret agent' as Man United captain weighs up £200m Saudi mega-move

 

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has ignited speculation about a potential transfer to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League after being seen dining with Al Hilal player João Cancelo during Cancelo’s 31st birthday celebration. The two Portuguese stars, set to represent their national team soon, were spotted together, intensifying rumors of a blockbuster move. 

Al Hilal has reportedly offered Fernandes a staggering £200 million contract over three years, equating to £700,000 per week tax free. The club is pushing Fernandes for a decision before submitting a £100 million bid to Manchester United. Fernandes’ agent, Miguel Pinho, recently spent three days in Riyadh, holding discussions with Al Hilal officials at the Four Seasons hotel, further signaling the club’s intent. While the dinner could simply reflect camaraderie between national teammates, the timing, combined with ongoing talks, has fueled transfer chatter.

 No deal has been confirmed, and Fernandes remains a pivotal figure at United, but Al Hilal’s financial firepower and ambition to attract global stars make this a story to watch. The Saudi Pro League has been aggressive in recruiting high profile players, and landing Fernandes would be a major coup. Fans and analysts are divided, with some seeing the move as a lucrative opportunity for the midfielder, while others believe his loyalty to United and European football’s prestige might keep him at Old Trafford.
