Rúben Neves Not Involved as Bruno Fernandes Rejects £100m Offer
The rejection of the £100m offer is a testament to Fernandes' commitment to playing at the highest level, and his desire to compete for major titles with Manchester United. The club's fans will be delighted by the news, and will be hoping that Fernandes can continue to lead the team to success in the coming seasons.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has turned down a lucrative £100m offer from Saudi Pro-League club Al-Hilal, opting to stay at Old Trafford and continue playing at the highest level. Fernandes, 30, was tempted by a deal that would have significantly increased his salary, but ultimately decided to remain with the club, citing his desire to compete for major titles.
Fernandes has been a key player for Manchester United since joining from Sporting in 2020, making 290 appearances and scoring 98 goals. His decision to stay has been welcomed by the club, with former player Gary Neville praising Fernandes' commitment to the team. Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim had also asked Fernandes to stay, and the player's decision is seen as a significant moment for the club.
The offer from Al-Hilal would have almost trebled Fernandes' current wages of £250,000-a-week, but he chose to prioritize his desire to play at the highest level over financial gain. Fernandes' contract runs until 2027, and his decision to stay is expected to endear him to fans even more. Meanwhile, Manchester United is expected to approach Brentford this week over the signing of forward Bryan Mbeumo, with encouragement that the player wants to move to Old Trafford.
Fernandes' decision to reject the offer from Al-Hilal is a significant boost for Manchester United, and the club will be hoping to build on this momentum in the coming weeks. With Fernandes committed to the team, Manchester United will be looking to strengthen their squad further, with the potential signing of Bryan Mbeumo a key target.
