Captain packing his bags? Al-Hilal preparing a million-pound move for Manchester United star
Saudi side Al-Hilal are preparing a major January offer of £45 million for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.
Details: According to respected outlet Goal, negotiations between the Portuguese midfielder and the Red Devils' hierarchy over a new contract at Old Trafford have reached a complete impasse. Amid the uncertainty, the Saudi powerhouse are ready to renew their attempts to lure the 32-year-old playmaker, taking advantage of the Mancunians' willingness to consider selling him.
Last year, the Portuguese star categorically rejected a lucrative offer from the Middle East, but the situation has changed significantly since then. The player himself admitted that the club would not stand in his way if an attractive proposal arrived, clearing Al-Hilal's path to a headline-making deal as early as the upcoming transfer window.
It is worth noting that Bruno Fernandes has represented Manchester United since January 2020, winning the FA Cup and the League Cup as captain while consistently remaining the Mancunians' chief creative force.
Reminder: The culprit found? Manchester United has decided Bruno Fernandes' future
