Bruno Fernandes Open to Man United Exit Amid Transfer Interest
Manchester, England: Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has opened the door to a potential summer exit, stating he would respect any decision the club makes regarding his future. This revelation has intensified transfer speculation surrounding the Portuguese playmaker.
“I’ve always said I will be here as long as the club wants me. If they decide it’s time to go and make money from me, that’s football,” Fernandes said in a post-match interview after United’s Europa League final loss. His honest comments have sparked concern among fans and interest from top clubs abroad.
Massive Offer from Saudi Arabia
According to reports, Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal are preparing a record-breaking offer of £115 million for Fernandes. The proposed deal could also include a salary package worth £65 million per year over three seasons, making him one of the highest-paid players in the world.
With the Saudi Pro League transfer window opening early—from June 1 to June 10—Al Hilal are aiming to secure top European talent before their participation in the Club World Cup later this year.
Manchester United's Summer Rebuild
United are expected to undergo a major overhaul this summer under new ownership and the guidance of incoming manager Ruben Amorim. After a disappointing season with no major trophies and a 8th-place Premier League finish, the club is looking to reset its squad.
Key figures like Casemiro, Raphaël Varane, and Christian Eriksen could be moved on. Fernandes, despite being club captain and a central figure, may be sold to generate significant funds for new signings.
Clubs Monitoring His Situation
While Al Hilal are the front-runners, other top clubs are also watching closely. Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Inter Milan have all been linked with Fernandes in the past, and his recent comments may reopen doors to Europe’s elite.
Fernandes is known for his high work rate, leadership qualities, and goal contributions—attributes that make him an appealing prospect for any Champions League club looking to strengthen their midfield.
Fernandes' Commitment to the Badge
Despite the exit talk, Fernandes has reiterated his loyalty to the badge. “I love playing for Manchester United. I love the fans and this club. My focus is always to win, but if the club thinks otherwise, I will respect that,” he added.
His agent has not yet commented on the ongoing rumours, but sources close to the player say he is open to staying—provided the club shows ambition and clarity in its future direction.
