Al-Hilal are reportedly willing to make Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes one of the highest-paid players this summer. They are highly interested in signing him and could pay around £100 million in transfer fees.

Fernandes has inarguably been Manchester United’s best player since arriving from Sporting CP in January 2021. He has scored 98 goals and provided 87 assists in 290 games. He’s helped them win the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.

However, his time at the club could be nearing its end. As per transfer expert Fabzirio Romano, Al-Hilal are highly interested in signing Fernandes this summer. They are willing to pay whatever United demands, and the decision with depend on the midfielder and the English giants.

After Manchester United’s defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final on May 21, the Portuguese said about his future (via The Sun):

Fernandes’ contract with the Red Devils expires in 2027.

The Red Devils finished 15th in the Premier League this season and didn’t win any trophies. They also failed to qualify for any European competition for next season, leading to financial ramifications. Hence, there has been plenty of speculation around Bruno Fernandes’ future as he could earn a big transfer fee.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim spoke about the midfielder’s comments after the Europa League defeat, and he said (via manutd.com):

Bruno Fernandes, 30, has registered 19 goals and 20 assists in 57 games across competitions this season.
