FIFA Club World Cup

Real Madrid

Al Hilal

<p>The Portugal international playmaker, who is club captain at Old Trafford, has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/al-hilal-ready-offer-everything-bruno-fernandes-transfer-man-utd-s-family-not-convinced/bltae8ee38189a72cb0" target="_blank">presented with a lucrative contract proposal from the Middle East</a>. He is said to have snubbed those advances in order to remain in Europe.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fernandes <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-2024-25-season-ratings-every-player-ranked/blted9cf0a7e72b40db" target="_blank">endured a frustrating end to the 2024-25 campaign</a>, as United finished 15th in the Premier League and suffered Europa League final heartache against Tottenham. Questions were being asked of his future before another transfer window swung open.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Al-Hilal have made a play for the 30-year-old midfielder, in a bid to get him to follow in the footsteps of fellow countryman <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-inside-knowledge-transfer-plans-portuguese-goat-club-world-cup-al-nassr/bltb469e17b7a3dfc4f" target="_blank">Cristiano Ronaldo - who is mulling over his own future in Saudi Arabia</a> - but Fernandes is not ready to tread that path just yet.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Transfer expert <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1929795475303289312" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a> said: “Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal. Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe. Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made.”</p>

WHAT FABRIZIO ROMANO SAID

<p>While Fernandes has shunned a switch to the Saudi Pro League, he could still bid farewell to Manchester. He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/explained-why-90m-bruno-fernandes-transfer-man-utd-real-madrid-impossible/blt8e875f52f0b020b6" target="_blank">also been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich</a>, with United’s lack of European football for 2025-26 leaving them vulnerable to transfer raids in what is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-carried-man-utd-too-long--saudi-sale-cash-strapped-red-devils-chance-reinvent-ruben-amorim-squad/blt36ae27650c0176d8" target="_blank">shaping up to be a busy summer for the Red Devils</a>.</p>
