Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has reportedly laid out his financial demands to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, as speculation about his potential departure from Old Trafford intensifies.
According to Ariyadhiah, the Portuguese international is open to joining the Saudi giants but has set specific terms for any potential move. Fernandes is reportedly demanding £25 million per season on a three-year contract, along with £7 million in add-ons.
Al Hilal has countered with an offer of £21 million per season on a four-year deal without any add-ons. However, the Saudi club is reportedly willing to meet whatever transfer fee Manchester United demands for the midfielder.
This development comes after Manchester United's manager Ruben Amorim recently stated that Fernandes has not provided any clear indication about his future at the club. The midfielder had previously suggested he would be willing to leave if the club wanted to cash in on him.
Fernandes joined Manchester United in January 2020 from Sporting CP for approximately £58 million. During his time at Old Trafford, he has been a standout performer, scoring 98 goals and providing 87 assists in 290 appearances across all competitions.
The 30-year-old midfielder has been the subject of intense transfer speculation in recent months, with reports previously suggesting he had received a £700,000-a-week offer to move to the Saudi Pro League.
If the transfer materializes, it would represent another significant coup for the Saudi Pro League, which has attracted numerous high-profile European players in recent years as part of Saudi Arabia's ambitious sports investment strategy.
Manchester United fans will be watching closely as the situation develops, given Fernandes' importance to the team since his arrival at Old Trafford.
