Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes is becoming the shocking target of Al Ittihad in the last days of the summer transfer period 2025.
According to Sunsport, a meeting between the representative of Al Ittihad and the Fernandes side took place, and the initial signal was considered to be quite positive. Earlier in June, the Portuguese midfielder rejected Al Hilal's offer.
The source said Fernandes had requested a remuneration of up to 33 million pounds/year if joining Saudi Pro League. At the age of 30, the midfielder did not hide his view of being ready to leave Old Trafford if the club wanted to sell him to earn a sum of money.
Fernandes once shared: “I am always honest. I will stay until the club tells me that it's time to leave. I always want to devote more, bring the glory days for the team. But if the club thinks it's time to break up, or want to collect money from this deal, football is inherently like that – you cannot know anything in advance.”
If joining Al Ittihad, Fernandes will reunite with the world's top stars such as Karim Benzema, Moussa Diaby, Fabinho or N'Golo Kante.
Meanwhile, Man United is still busy reforming forces under coach Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils spent more than 200 million pounds to bring the trio to attack Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cuha and Benjamin Sesko. Although all three were in the opening match of the Premier League against Arsenal, they still left promising signals.
In addition, Man United also cared about Brighton's midfielder Carlos Baleba. However, the team nicknamed “Birds” did not want to lose any more stars and shouted over 115 million pounds. This made MU temporarily faltered, but the ability to return to the deal was still before the market was closed on September 1.
