Saudi Arabian tycoon sets price of £100m for Bruno with salary of £700,000 a week, Al Hilal has paid special attention to Man Utd captain and is ready to meet all financial requirements for the Portuguese player
Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal is making waves in the transfer market with an audacious bid to sign Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, reportedly valuing the move at £100 million. A billionaire closely connected to the club is said to be driving the push, personally getting involved in the process and offering the Portuguese star an eye-watering salary of £700,000 per week—an amount that would instantly place him among the world’s highest-paid players.
Bruno has been on Al Hilal’s radar for several months, and with Manchester United enduring a turbulent season—plagued by inconsistencies in the Premier League and a disappointing Europa League campaign—the timing of the offer seems strategic. The Saudi club sees Fernandes not just as a top-level talent, but as a transformative figure who can elevate the prestige of their domestic league. A source close to Al Hilal described the move as a mission, not a negotiation, emphasizing the club’s determination to land their man at any cost.
While Manchester United is hesitant to let go of their influential skipper, they are reportedly not entirely dismissive of the proposal. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe overseeing sweeping changes at the club, including cost-cutting measures and a major squad overhaul, the prospect of banking £100 million for a 29-year-old player could be tempting—especially if it unlocks funds for strengthening other areas of the team.
Though Fernandes has publicly pledged his loyalty to the Red Devils, insiders claim he has grown increasingly disillusioned with the club’s direction. There is a growing belief that he may be open to embracing a new chapter, particularly one that promises immense financial rewards and a central role in a rising footballing powerhouse.
If the move goes through, it would mark a bold new era for Saudi football. Unlike past signings of aging stars, this approach targets elite players still at the peak of their careers. For Manchester United, losing Bruno would be a crushing blow—he remains the creative engine and emotional leader of the squad. With uncertainty swirling around Old Trafford and the lure of extraordinary wealth on the table, the summer transfer window may yet produce one of the most shocking moves in recent memory.
