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 CP and now really wants to reunite with his former student in Saudi Arabia. He is said to be directly involved in negotiations, showing that Fernandes is the top priority on his transfer list.
The Board of Directors of 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. These two players have a very good relationship both in and on the pitch, and Al Nassr hopes that this friendship will help them get the signature of Fernandes.
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. However, his future is still the topic of discussion, especially after the midfielder opens up about the possibility of leaving in the summer.
Speaking to the press, Fernandes shared: “I will be here until the club says it's time to leave. I am always ready to help the club get the great days back. so.”
The ambition to build an Al Nassr's full -star squad was further confirmed when they successfully recruited Joao Felix from Chelsea earlier this week. They completed a £ 43.7 million (50 million euro) deal to sign a contract with a 24 -year -old striker, adding another Portuguese star to his squad.
Despite the noisy around the future, Fernandes is still with the Man Utd squad to participate in the pre -season trip in the US. The Red Devils are expected to face Everton in the last friendly match this Sunday and Fernandes is expected to play in the plan of coach Ruben Amorim.
