Al Hilal Saudi Club Pushes to Finalize Bruno Fernandes Deal Before It's Too Late
Al Hilal grants Bruno Fernandes a final deadline to finalize his transfer from Manchester United with a massive contract.
Saudi club Al Hilal has set a final deadline for next week for Bruno Fernandes to make a decisive decision regarding his transfer from Manchester United to the Saudi giants with a contract worth £200 million.
According to British media sources, Al Hilal is applying strong pressure to convince the Manchester United captain to leave Old Trafford, offering a huge financial package that includes a £100 million transfer fee, along with a three-year contract paying a basic weekly salary of £700,000. This makes his annual salary exceed £65 million when including bonuses and signing fees.
Manchester United is facing increasing financial pressure, especially after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, which cost them around £100 million in Champions League revenue. This situation may push the club to reconsider its position regarding letting go of their star player.
Al Hilal hopes to strengthen its squad with a world-class player before the Club World Cup next month and is preparing to submit its final offer to Fernandes, giving him only 72 hours to respond before moving on to other options.
Despite Bruno’s great love for his current team and his appreciation for the fans, the upcoming challenges outside Europe—such as a 25% salary reduction and the unclear future of the club under the management of Rúben Amorim—may lead him to accept the Saudi offer, especially since it guarantees his place in the Portuguese national team, similar to what Cristiano Ronaldo did when he moved to Al Nassr in 2022.
This deal could completely change Al Hilal’s season and attract the attention of football fans worldwide, who await the Manchester United star’s response in the coming days.
