Bruno Fernandes turned down a massive offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal. The Manchester United midfielder spent several days thinking about the deal that would have more than doubled his current wages. Family discussions helped him decide against moving to the Middle East. Al-Hilal prepared to pay between 80 million and 100 million pounds for the Portuguese star. The Saudi team wanted him ready for this month's Club World Cup tournament.
Manchester United officials felt happy about Fernandes staying at Old Trafford. Coach Ruben Amorim predicted on Friday that his captain would remain with the team. The clubs never spoke directly about any transfer terms or prices. Fernandes may face questions about his decision during Tuesday's press conference before Portugal's Nations League match. The 30-year-old midfielder has played 290 games and scored 98 goals since joining from Sporting Lisbon for 47 million pounds during January 2020.
