Bruno Fernandes 'REJECTS' £200MILLION offer to join Saudi giants Al-Hilal - but key detail in report spells trouble for Man United Bruno Fernandes has not rejected a £200 million offer from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, despite speculation. The Manchester United captain is carefully considering the proposal, which includes a three-year contract with a tax-free weekly salary of £700,000, totaling £65 million per season with bonuses. Al-Hilal are prepared to pay United a £100 million transfer fee and have set a 72-hour deadline to secure Fernandes for the Club World Cup in June 2025. Fernandes’ agent met with Al-Hilal officials in Riyadh, and the midfielder is discussing the move with his family. Manchester United are desperate to keep Fernandes, their top scorer and player of the year, who recorded 19 goals and 18 assists in the 2024-25 season. Manager Ruben Amorim has emphasized his importance to the squad’s rebuild, and the club has dismissed rumors of a £60 million release clause. However, United’s financial struggles, including a £100 million revenue loss from missing the Champions League and pressure from Profit and Sustainability Rules, make the £100 million fee tempting. The club’s worst Premier League finish (15th) and absence from European competitions next season further complicate their ability to retain him. Fernandes has expressed loyalty to United but hinted he would accept a sale if the club needed funds. Teammates fear his exit could destabilize the squad. As of June 2, 2025, no final decision has been made, and no official offer has been submitted. The situation remains open, with Al-Hilal optimistic and United hopeful of keeping their star. The potential departure of Fernandes could signal further instability at Old Trafford, posing a significant challenge for United’s rebuild under Amorim. Fans await clarity as the saga unfolds.
