Bruno Fernandes rejects insane Al-Hilal transfer offer as transfer takes new twist

Bruno Fernandes has reportedly rejected a mouthwatering offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, but is not guaranteed to remain at Manchester United.

Fernandes has been tipped to leave Old Trafford following United’s inconsistency over the past few years. The clubs inability to qualify for European football last season after finishing 15th in the Premier League has added more fuel to the speculations.

However, the Portugal international playmaker, who is club captain at Old Trafford, has rejected the chance to join Al-Hilal despite being presented with a lucrative contract proposal from the Middle East.

Fernandes is said to have snubbed those advances in order to remain in Europe.

Al-Hilal have made a play for the 30-year-old midfielder, in a bid to get him to follow in the footsteps of fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo but Fernandes is not ready to tread that path just yet.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said: “Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal. Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe. Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made.”

While Fernandes has shunned a switch to the Saudi Pro League, he could still bid farewell to Manchester.

He has also been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, with United’s lack of European football for 2025-26 leaving them vulnerable to transfer raids in what is shaping up to be a busy summer for the Red Devils.
