Al Hilal won't give up on signing Bruno Fernandes ahead of Club World Cup

Al Hilal have not given up on their pursuit of Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United, according to Sky Sports News.

The Saudi club want to include Fernandes in their squad for the Club World Cup, which takes place in the US next month. However, Man United’s stance remains firm – their captain is not for sale.

Fernandes’s agent is reportedly in Riyadh to hold talks with Al Hilal. Al Hilal’s opening match in the Club World Cup is against Real Madrid in Miami on June 18.

The club aim to strengthen their squad when the transfer window opens for 10 days starting this Sunday.

Al-Hilal’s final offer is said to be around £700,000 per week, with the total package – including accommodation, flights, signing bonus, and performance-related incentives – amounting to nearly £65million per year.

The Red Devils recently missed out on silverware in the 2024/25 season, allowing Tottenham to end their 17-year trophy drought by defeating them in the Europa League final.

This disappointment has prompted manager Ruben Amorim to consider squad changes ahead of the transfer window.

Meanwhile, Man United are close to securing their first signing of the summer.

A verbal agreement is reportedly in place for Matheus Cunha’s £62.5million transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, Amorim’s side now face the possibility of losing Fernandes, who has been given a strict deadline by Al-Hilal to decide whether he will accept their offer.

Following the Europa League final defeat, Fernandes admitted uncertainty over his future at Old Trafford.
