Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes remains committed to the club despite recent contact from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal about a potential summer transfer.
Al Hilal Make Informal Approach
Although no official offer has been made, sources confirm that representatives from Al Hilal have held informal discussions with Fernandes’ camp in recent weeks. A fresh round of talks reportedly took place on Monday. The Saudi club, eager to land a marquee signing after failing to secure Mohamed Salah, have identified Fernandes as a top target for their ambitious summer rebuild.
As part of those early conversations, Al Hilal floated a non-binding three-year proposal. However, Fernandes has not responded and is currently not entertaining the idea of a move.
United Unconcerned as Bruno Fernandes Stays Focused
Manchester United remain calm and confident that their captain will stay at Old Trafford. Fernandes, 30, is under contract until 2027, with the club holding an option to extend for an additional year. Club insiders have rejected rumours of a £60 million release clause, reiterating that Fernandes is central to the club’s future plans under incoming manager Ruben Amorim.
Despite speculation about a possible squad overhaul this summer to meet Financial Fair Play requirements, Fernandes is not viewed as a player the club is willing to part with.
A Captain in Form and Influence
Bruno Fernandes has once again been one of United’s standout performers this season, tallying 19 goals and 18 assists across all competitions. His creative output and leadership both on and off the pitch remain integral to United’s direction under INEOS ownership.
With no formal bid on the table and Fernandes showing no desire to leave, the expectation is that he will lead Manchester United into their next chapter—not depart it.
Al Hilal Face Tough Task
Al Hilal’s ambitions for a high-profile summer signing are clear, but luring away United’s captain appears highly unlikely. Fernandes’ loyalty to the club, combined with his long-term contract and critical role in the squad, makes any departure this summer improbable.
