Al Nassr showed interest in midfielder Bruno Fernandes MU when the new coach Jorge Jesus was planning to bring him home to coordinate with Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix.
Bruno Fernandes once again became the target of Saudi Arabia teams. And this time the Al Nassr club officially approached the Portuguese star.
Specifically, the Saudi Pro League team has made positive moves this week, in order to convince the 30 -year -old to join, in the context that they are trying to bring the best stars before the new season started.
The fact that Al Nassr pursued Fernandes seemed to be motivated by the new head coach Jorge Jesus. This experienced strategist used to work with Fernandes at Sporting Lisbon and wanted to reunite with his former student in Saudi Arabia. He is said to be directly involved in negotiations to make things soon complete.
And yet, BLD Al Nassr believes that the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernandes's teammate in the Portuguese team, can play a key role to persuade him to move to the club.
Earlier, Fernandes rejected a huge offer from Al Hilal early this summer. That proposal is considered to include a contract worth up to 200 million pounds in three years and MU will have 100 million pounds.
Speaking to the press, Fernandes shared: “It is true that I had a chance. President Al Hilal called and asked if I wanted to go there. They waited to welcome me and ready to provide me with the best conditions. I talked to coach Ruben Amorim and he told me not to go. My wife doesn't want me to go there either.
For me, it will be very easy to move there because some of my teammates in the national team are playing football for Saudi Arabia clubs, but I want to play at the highest level and compete for big titles. I also know, MU doesn't want to sell me. They say no money. If I want me to leave, they won't stop when I get offers from other places. “
