Bruno Fernandes Looking More Closely at Saudi Deal After Man United Agreement
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is reportedly reconsidering a lucrative Saudi Pro League offer following recent club turmoil, including the dismissal of manager Hélder Amorim and a new managerial agreement.[1][3]
According to sources, Fernandes has "had enough" at Old Trafford amid the team's struggles, with European giants like Bayern Munich offering around £86m (€100m) for the 31-year-old midfielder. Despite being United's standout performer with 5 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League this season, Fernandes feels overburdened carrying the side single-handedly.[1][2][3]
Last summer, Fernandes rejected an "astronomical" bid from Al-Hilal—rumored at £36m annually plus a £100m transfer fee—prioritizing European competition. He expressed hurt over United's willingness to sell him, though officials insisted they needed him. BBC reports confirm no January exit plans, but Fernandes will reassess in summer 2026 when his contract has one year left.[2][4]
Club insiders note Fernandes' high regard on and off the pitch, yet question if the ambitious Portugal international can continue dragging a disappointing United forward. A Saudi move remains viable, with ongoing interest from Pro League clubs, while Bayern appeals for its "stability, ambition, and winning project." United are reluctant to lose their star but may negotiate seriously for such sums, wary of a demotivated player.[3][4]
Fernandes prefers staying at Europe's highest level if leaving, eyeing other Euro clubs over Saudi. Recent chaos post-Amorim has fueled speculation, with sources saying he'll "look to leave" despite loyalty. United's rebuild could involve cashing in, balancing retention against his frustrations.[1][2][3]
