Bruno Fernandes ‘holds SECRET meeting with Saudi Pro League club’

Bruno Fernandes is said to be 'in Talks' with Saudi Pro League side Al-Eittihad over a potential move to the Middle East.

The Maestro of Manchester United was the subject of a stunning proposal of £ 200 million from Al-Hilal earlier this summer after Daily Mail Sport revealed that his agent had traveled to Riyad for face-to-face conversations.

Fernandes eventually rejected the lucrative proposal in the wish of Red Devil's boss Ruben Amorim, with the midfielder who wants to extend his career in Europe.

But now Al-Eittihah, who bragging Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante, are the race to the signature of Fernandes, according to the Sun.

It is assumed that the Saudi Pro League officials met the representatives of the United Captain about a possible movement, with 'positive' initials that are already taking place.

However, the Portugal International is seen as a contract of approximately £ 33 million to seduce him from Old Trafford.

A large number of European stars have again been drawn in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and flowed to Saudi Arabia this summer.

AC Milan's Theo Hernandez and Darwin Nunez of Liverpool both signed for title holders of the Al-Hilal competition, while Ronaldo's Al-Nassr has strengthened their ranks with the additions of Joao Felix and more recently Kingsley Coman.

Earlier this summer, Fernandes seemed to exclude a move to the center -East, because the United No 8 wants to continue to play at the highest level of European football.

Fernandes announced his decision to stay with the Red Devils in June and told reporters: 'It would have been an easy step.

'I had Ruben Neves and Joao Cancel there [at Al-Hilal]Two people with whom I have a great friendship – but I want to stay at the highest level, play in large competitions, because I still feel capable of.

“There was a chance, the president called me and asked if I wanted to go there. They waited for me.

“I spoke with coach Amorim and he asked me not to go. Manchester United did not want to sell me. They don't need the money.

“If I wanted to leave, they would have let it happen.”

The loss of Fernandes would have no doubt if a huge blow to Amorim came after what, despite resulting in a 1-0 loss, was a promising first game of the season at home in Arsenal.

United fans left Old Trafford with much more optimism than they had on many points last season after a lively and entertaining performance against Mikel Arteta's men.

New recruits Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo were particularly impressive after drawing for a combined reimbursement of almost £ 140 million this summer, and United's new striker Benjamin Sesko also made his debut from the bank.

A striking error from Altay Bayindir finally cost the Red Devils a point when the Turkish keeper fluttered to a corner that was nodded home by Riccardo Calafiori.

United is still apparently closer to solving their goalkeepers, where club officials approaches the completion of a deal for the Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

The transfer, which is believed to be worth around £ 17 million, is expected to be completed in the coming days, whereby the Belgian is considered a long -term replacement for the struggling Andre Onana.

United will continue their Premier League campaign in Craven Cottage tomorrow afternoon.
