Manchester United has already offered their players for sale and Al-Hilal has been given the hope to land Bruno Fernandes after his honest comments in the aftermath of their Euroopa League Final defeat
Bruno Fernandes has offered an exit route from Manchester United after their defeat in the Europa League final. United is brace for major changes in the summer transfer window after missing Champions League football next season by losing Tottenham – and their captain can be one of the rooms.
As Mirror Football has revealed, United has offered their entire team for sale in the aftermath of their defeat in Bilbao. That dramatic transfer posture includes Fernandes and other important players such as Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Andre Onana, Alejandro Garnaacho, Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainooo.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is ready to take a brutal attitude this summer to provide Ruben Amorim with a new team for the 2025/26 season. United wants to bring in wolves, bring in Matheus Cunha and Ipswich striker Liam Delap, but only have about £ 100 million to spend before they take the sale into account.
Fernandes is under contract with United until June 2027, while the club also has the option of another year. But the 30-year-old admitted in the aftermath of the defeat in Bilbao that he would understand if United sold him-and that has now become a real opportunity.
Sky Sports reports that Al-Hilal is interested in signing the Portugal International and their offer could soon be due to the club World Cup. The Saudi Aarabic side is involved in the tournament, which will start in the United States next month, so it will be able to sign players from 1 June.
They have already tempted the former Premier League players Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Kalidou Koulibaly to join them and are now renewing their push to sign Fernandes. Mirror Football reported earlier this month that President Fahad bin Nafel Al-Hilal Fahad Nafel met with Fernandes' agent Miguel Ruben and lawyer Caetano Maria to discuss a possible three-year contract.
That approach was rejected by its representatives, but Al-Hilal did not state the fair comments of Fernandes in northern Spain and Fernandes in northern Spain will have given the hope that a deal can be reached.
Did you say! Should Manchester United consider selling Bruno Fernandes? Respond below.
“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. And football is sometimes,” he said.
“I have always been honest. I have always said that I will be here until the club says it is time to go. I am enthusiastic to do more, to be able to take the club to the great days. On the day the club thinks too much or it's time to do ways, football is that way, you never know. But I always have my word the same way” “
Fernandes came to United of Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 for £ 68 million and has since been an important player. He has contributed 98 goals and 86 assists in 289 performances for the club and has been a captain since Erik ten Hag Harry Maguire replaced two summers ago.
He is United's striking performer this season with 19 goals and 19 assists in 56 performances. But with United 16th in the Premier League and a year without European football confronted, Ratcliffe is ready to supervise a brutal fire sale this summer.
While Loanese Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are the primary goals for sale, there is a feeling that the club also has to discharge some important players. Amorim has described Fernandes as one of the best players in the world and rejected earlier rumors around him, but the decision could be taken from his hands this summer.
