Captain Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United is connected to a relocation of Old Trafford this summer, with Saudi-Arabic club Al-Eittihad interested in the midfielder
Manchester United can be tempted to sell Captain Bruno Fernandes if they receive an offer of more than £ 100 million according to reports. Fernandes rejected the opportunity to become a member of Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal earlier this summer.
Al-Hilal was willing to pay Fernandes £ 700,000 a week, which would have seen him around £ 200 million for the duration of a three-year contract. Nevertheless, another Saudi Pro League side has made a late approach for Fernandes this summer.
AL-STIHAD is said to have held positive conversations with the representatives of Fernandes about a possible relocation and a new report from the Daily Mail claims that an offer of more than £ 100 million united could convince for cash.
Although the report states that Fernandes is not going to leave this summer, because he wants to avoid an unrest before the World Cup 2026, it is noted that things can change if Al-Sittihad makes him an offer even greater than that of Al-Hilal.
The transfer window of the Saudi Pro League closes on 10 September and Al-STIHAD tries to make room in their team for a new signature, with former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho linked to a move.
Fernandes has previously stated that he would be willing to leave Old Trafford if United wanted to sell him. With Sky Sports about his decision to reject Al-Hilal earlier this month, Fernandes said: “I haven't fulfilled my dreams here.
“I think I can still give something to the club. I think I am still in a position where I am helpful, so the thing for me is that I will be here until the club decides that” Bruno, it's time to go. “
“It is clear that I know it was difficult for the club to decide that because it was a large amount of money that the club probably didn't get since Cristiano [Ronaldo] On the left he was the last where they received so much money for a player.
“I know that it was difficult for the club to decide. Because on the one hand I am the club captain, I am important for them, even if I am sometimes not great, I have and everything. I know that it will be bad in public interest if something goes wrong.
“But it would be very good if it went well – if they sell me and they get more players and whatever. But in my mind I always said that this is the place where I want to be.
“The dream to come and play in the Premier League, because for me it is the biggest competition in the world and I want to fill my dreams to stay here and win more things with the club. I clearly know that people will have different opinions – he is 30 years old, he is getting old …”
