Al-Hilal weighs €55m January bid for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes
Al-Hilal are considering an offer of about €55 million (£46 million) for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes in January, according to reports citing Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb. Fernandes’s contract runs to June 2027, with United holding an option to extend it by a year; reports say renewal talks have stalled, but no formal bid has been made.
Bottom line — Any move would depend on a formal offer, Manchester United’s willingness to sell and Fernandes’s decision.
