Football player Brunu Fernandez returns to Al-Nassr team
In the world of football, transfer rumours often swirl, and the case of Bruno Fernandes is no exception. The Portuguese midfielder, currently captaining Manchester United, has been linked with a move to Saudi club Al-Nassr.
According to reports from ESPN, Rodrigo, a fellow footballer, has agreed terms with Liverpool, but Bruno Fernandes' future seems to be taking a different path. Despite Al-Nassr's interest, multiple reports from early August 2025 consistently state that Fernandes is not interested in moving to Al-Nassr or the Saudi Pro League at this time. He has reportedly rejected offers, including a lucrative proposal from Al-Hilal, and is focused on staying at Manchester United for at least another season.
Al-Nassr, managed by Jorge Jesus who previously worked with Fernandes at Sporting, has a strategic plan to build a core team of Portuguese national players capable of winning both domestically and in Asian tournaments. The club's hopes are bolstered by the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for and part-owns Al-Nassr, and the potential arrival of Joao Felix. However, Fernandes' commitment to Manchester United appears strong, and no formal transfer talks are underway between Al-Nassr and Fernandes.
Fernandes and Ronaldo share a close relationship, and this connection could potentially play a role in the transfer saga. Jorge Jesus, the coach of Al-Nassr, is personally interested in bringing Bruno Fernandes to the club, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, a player for Tottenham, has announced his departure after 10 years at the club. In a recent interview, Bruno Fernandes hinted that he is open to considering various options if Manchester United deems his departure appropriate. The future of Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the football world will be watching this developing story with great interest.
In the midst of uncertainties surrounding Bruno Fernandes' future at Manchester United, bookmakers have beenkeeping a close eye on European leagues, particularly the Premier League, as betting odds for Fernandes' next club continue to evolve. Al-Nassr, despite their persistent interest and strategic plans to assemble a core team of Portuguese players, including Bruno Fernandes, has not been able to secure a deal with the footballer, who is currently focused on the Premier League.
