Red Devils Captain Chooses European Glory Over Mega-Money Move, Delighting Manager Amorim
In a bold statement of loyalty, Bruno Fernandes has rejected a jaw-dropping £100 million transfer to Saudi champions Al-Hilal, opting instead to stay at Manchester United and continue competing at Europe’s highest level.
The Portuguese midfielder, 30, was offered a life-changing £1 million per week—potentially earning up to £200 million over the course of his contract—as Al-Hilal sought to capitalize on United’s financial struggles. The Saudi club had grown confident after positive negotiations with Fernandes’ agent, Miguel Pinho, during meetings at Riyadh’s luxurious Four Seasons hotel.
However, Fernandes has made it clear that his ambitions lie in elite European football, dealing Al-Hilal a major setback in their pursuit. His decision comes as a huge relief to United boss Ruben Amorim, who has consistently stressed his desire to keep the influential captain at Old Trafford.
While the massive transfer fee could have given Amorim significant funds to rebuild his squad, Fernandes’ commitment ensures United retain their talismanic leader ahead of a crucial season. For now, the midfielder’s heart remains in Manchester—not in Saudi Arabia’s golden embrace.
