Bruno Fernandes has a delicious offer to leave Manchester United and the club may have to consider who would replace him if he assumed the wealth for him in Saudi Arabia
Manchester United is confronted with the discouraging prospect of losing Bruno Fernandes this summer while Saudi Arabia is interested. The Portuguese playmaker has remained the Talisman in Old Trafford.
He enjoyed one of his best years, despite the fact that the Red Devils endured a horror campaign. His exploits have seen Al-Hilal stand up and be careful. They have submitted an offer – but want an answer within a few days to leave the player and the club little time.
After extensive conversations with the representatives of Fernandes, the Daily Mail report reported that the Saudi Pro League side has given him a final 'Take It of Leave It' offer. He has 72 hours to answer, with the Saudi side prepared to quadruple his salary with a package worth £ 700,000 a week.
If he agrees to move, Al-Hilal will submit an offer to United worth around £ 100 million. That would be a huge win if the club wanted to rebuild.
Ruben Amorim has previously claimed that Fernandes is not going anywhere. He said: “No, it is not going to happen. He is not going anywhere because I have already told him! I want Bruno here because we want to win the Premier League again, so we want the best players to continue with us. He is 30, but he is still so young, because he plays 55 games every season.
Money discussions and, given the amount of cash that United has missed, their owners can see it as good things to take the money and invest again. But where would they focus their attention? Mirror Football looks at who is possible on the United Radar.
Ebereechi
According to ESPN, the Red Devils are interested in the Crystal Palace Ace, which is just the key to the success of the club FA Cup. His versions in Selhurst Park helped him to earn recognition from England, but the Eagles will fight hard to keep the winger and can also use the leverage of – in contrast to United – in Europe. They lost Michael Olise 12 months ago and will hate seeing another of their most important men leaving the club, but a huge fee could turn the heads in South Londs.
Rayan Cherki
The Lyon man showed how good he can be against himself, because the French side threatened to lower Amorim's side in the Europa League. The 21-year-old came through the ranks in Lyon and the way in which he made the Ligue 1 Side Tick has raised eyebrows. He is supposed to have a release clause in his contract of approximately £ 20-25 million, which is a huge value for a player of his quality with Premier League left who continues to rise.
Bryan Mbeumo
The Brentford-Aas is reportedly seen as a potential backup for Eze. Mbeumo has just scored a career-best 20 goals in the Premier League and the bees have shown that they will sell their top players for the correct compensation.
There is a huge win on the Frenchman, who signed for the club when they were in the championship. Mbeumo is a different player than Fernandes, but would add a different dimension.
Victor Osimhen
The Nigerian would not be the case as a replacement for Fernandes, but he would go a long way to replace the goals he scored. Osimhen is almost certain to leave Napoli this summer and United may be able to pay him if they cash their Portuguese playmaker. One thing that Osimhen guarantees are goals – which has been a huge problem in Manchester.
