Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is reportedly a target for Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal for the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Bruno Fernandes is now having second thoughts about his future at Old Trafford. Manchester United could miss out on European qualification for the next season, and Al Hilal are prepared to offer him a lucrative contract as well.
The report claims that the Saudi Arabian club could offer him wages of around €70 million per season. The reported offer would be an absurd amount of money, and it would not be a surprise if the Portuguese international is attracted to the idea of moving to the Saudi Pro League.
The Portuguese international has proven himself in the Premier League over the years, and he might be open to a new challenge. Having said that, a player of his ability deserves to compete at the highest level, and a move to Saudi Arabia would be too soon for him.
Manchester United must keep Fernandes
Meanwhile, Manchester United will be hoping to hold on to him for as long as possible. The 30-year-old is an indispensable asset for them, and he has 38 goal contributions this season. Replacing him will be a massive challenge for Manchester United, especially if they miss out on Champions League qualification.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Bruno Fernandes is not just a quality player for Manchester United, his leadership qualities make him an asset for the club as well. Manchester United will look to bounce back strongly next term, and they need to hold on to their best players. The Portuguese international will be crucial to their hopes of winning major trophies.
Meanwhile, the player will now be focused on winning the UEFA Europa League with Manchester United. They have made it to the final of the competition, where they will take on Tottenham Hotspur.
If the Red Devils manage to win the trophy, they will secure Champions League qualification for the next season, and that could play a key role in convincing Bruno Fernandes to stay at the club. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
