Manchester United confirmed negotiations between the Saudi Investment Fund and their Portuguese player Bruno Fernandes, aimed at convincing him to join the "Roshan" league next season. A responsible source within Manchester United told the Saudi sports newspaper "Al-Riyadh," that the Saudi negotiating team seeks Fernandes' approval to complete the transfer during the summer market.
The source acknowledged the accuracy of reports indicating strong negotiations from the Investment Fund regarding Fernandes' move to the Saudi league, although the specific club interested in acquiring the player was not disclosed. Recent reports have indicated that there are advanced negotiations between one of the Saudi Pro League clubs and Bruno Fernandes at present.
The source also mentioned significant concerns within the English club regarding the potential departure of Fernandes, especially given that the offer presented is substantial and cannot be refused, while there is also a desire for him to remain as the team's captain.
Regarding Dutch coach Erik ten Hag's position, it was stated that he requested Fernandes' continuation before renewing his contract until 2026, emphasizing that nothing is guaranteed due to the strong offer made to both the club and the player. Bruno Fernandes' contract with Manchester United extends until the summer of 2026, and he has recently been linked with Saudi club Al-Nassr to join his fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo.
