Bruno Fernandes is strongly connected to a relocation of Manchester United this summer and it seems that his future has taken a fresh turn in the midst of interest from Saudi Arabia
Bruno Fernandes has come a step closer to an exit in Manchester United with Saudi conversations that extend late at night. The Portuguese midfielder has been associated with a move to the middle -east in the aftermath of the sad season of the Red Devils.
United finished in the Premier League in the Premier League, while also lost the Europa League final to Tottenham. Al-Hilal belongs to the Saudi parties that are interested in a deal for Fernandes, which they see as a tent for the following season.
And it seems that their chances of signing the playmaker have improved with the latest developments. According to Mail Online, the representative of Fernandes Miguel Pinho held long-term conversations with Al-Hilal to understand the project offered.
He met club officials in the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyad, with 'positive' conversations that extend until late in the night. Saudi sources reportedly told Fernandes that the offer is a one -off chance.
They have offered to increase his wages to an eye-watery £ 700k per week, while he could earn around £ 200 million during the duration of a three-year-old deal. And they would also be willing to pay United £ 100 million to praise their captain.
It is suggested that Al-Hilal Fernandes officials have given a 72-hour deadline to think about their desire to formalize a deal before this summer's club.
Speaking after the humble of the Europa League, Fernandes said: “If the club thinks it's time to separate because they want to come up with some money or whatever, it is what it is. Football is sometimes so. I have always said that I will be here until the club says it is time to go.
“I would like to do more to be able to take the club to the great days. The day the club thinks I'm too much or it's time to separate, football is that way, you never know. But I have always said it and I keep my word in the same way.”

Ruben Amorim has also offered an update about the future of his captain. He said: “It is important for Bruno to see that we are changing many things in our club. The behavior, the daily organization, the pace of training. All these things, when he sees that we do that at all levels, he will want to stay in this club. He loves this club.
“That is the most important thing – not the Champions League. He wants to win with this club and he trains and behaves at a high level. Everyone here has to do that – he will be for this.”
Amorim has regularly confirmed his wish to keep Fernandes in the club. The 30-year-old has just over two years on his contract with Old Trafford.
