"Bruno Fernandes advises any Manchester United player: 'They should join Al Hilal'"
Hype Surrounding Bruno Fernandes' Potential Move to Al Hilal
The big press conference with Portugal's national team this past Sunday had some unexpected chatter about Bruno Fernandes potentially ditching Manchester United for Al Hilal. To add fuel to the fire, teammate Rúben Neves didn't shy away from the rumors, recommending his fellow player for the Saudi Arabian club.
"If Al Hilal wants Bruno Fernandes, I'd tell them any player from our national team would be a fantastic addition," Neves declared, emphasizing the wealth of talent Portugal cultivates. And he's got a point - with four players from the team winning the Champions League just the day prior, dreams of bringing this talent to a single club can't be blamed.
Reports indicate that the now vice-champions of Saudi Arabia are confident in securing a record-breaking deal for Fernandes with a weekly wage of up to £1 million and a whopping transfer fee of £100 million, which would make it the most expensive transfer in Saudi Pro League history [2][3].
But even with these tantalizing offers, Manchester United hasn't jumped at the chance to sell. According to manager Ruben Amorim, they're keeping Fernandes as a key player, expressing no intention to part ways unless there's significant pressure on the player or an offer they can't refuse [2][1]. Fernandes himself has acknowledged the possibility of United selling him but hasn't made any concrete statements regarding his future plans.
So while there's considerable buzz surrounding Al Hilal's pursuit of Fernandes, a move isn't guaranteed. Lots of factors come into play, such as Manchester United's willingness to sell, Fernandes' own decision, and the financial terms involved [2][1][3].
Bruno Fernandes' potential move to Al Hilal has caught the attention of European-leagues followers, especially with reports of a £100 million transfer fee, which could make it the most expensive transfer in Saudi Pro League history. This potential switch might offer Fernandes the chance to play in the premier-league of Saudi Arabia, if he decides to leave Manchester United.
