The revelation that Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal had approached Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes caused a stir among supporters.
The club was really relieved to retain the Portuguese superstar. However, that has not stopped potential suitors from sniffing about.
The next Saudi team to be connected to a move was Al-Nassr, but the 30-year-old rejected even them.
According to The Sun, Al-Ittihad is the most recent team to attempt to sign the United captain, and the two parties just met.
Al-Ittihad latest to join Bruno race
Although there is no mention of a fee, the story notes that the midfield maestro has requested £33 million in salaries annually from the SPL team.
Nonetheless, the first interactions between the two parties have been seen as constructive. After Casemiro, he is the second United star on the ultra-wealthy club’s agenda.
In the last moments of the summer transfer window, Al-Ittihad is pursuing Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.
According to SunSport, there has already been a meeting between Fernandes’ side and the Saudi powerhouses. The Portugal international is eager to join Al-Ittihad’s team.
The 30-year-old Fernandes rejected Al-Hilal’s advances in June, but it is reported that their initial interactions were fruitful.
Interesting times lie ahead
According to sources who spoke to SunSport, Fernandes has requested a deal with the Saudi Pro League team worth a total of £33 million annually.
It’s yet unclear what this implies for the Portugal international’s future. Bruno Fernandes stated in a recent interview that he wished to remain and succeed in Ruben Amorim’s new era.
The club has greatly strengthened up top with the addition of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, while Fernandes’ current contract is good until 2027.
Although it is hoped that Fernandes will stay for a few more years and contribute to the club’s trophy cabinet during that time, INEOS is undoubtedly preparing for the post-Fernandes period.
