Saudi Giants Make “Life-Changing” Offer as United Face Summer Squad Overhaul
Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal have launched an audacious £80m (€95m) bid for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, offering the Portuguese superstar a staggering £21m per year after tax in what sources describe as a “career-defining” proposal.
The bombshell offer comes as United brace for a summer of difficult decisions following their worst Premier League finish in decades. With Champions League football off the table and Financial Fair Play constraints tightening, club executives may be forced to consider the eye-watering bid for their 29-year-old talisman.
Industry insiders reveal the package would make Fernandes one of the world’s highest-paid footballers, with Al-Hilal prepared to triple his current wages in a three-year deal worth approximately £200m gross. The Saudi side, fresh off an unbeaten domestic season, view Fernandes as the marquee signing to spearhead their Club World Cup campaign.
While Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol reports Fernandes has expressed emotional attachment to United, describing the player’s internal conflict between “life-changing money” and club loyalty, the financial realities may prove decisive. Manager Ruben Amorim’s unusually candid comments about the situation suggest United’s hierarchy are at least contemplating the unthinkable.
The clock is ticking for all parties, with Al-Hilal determined to finalize their summer business before preseason begins. Should United accept, it would mark one of the most shocking departures of the post-Ferguson era – and provide crucial funds for Amorim’s rebuilding project.
