Manchester United desperately needs reinforcements, but even more so, it needs results that can be presented to the fans. That’s why Jim Ratcliffe doesn’t want to sell Bruno Fernandes to the Saudis, even though there’s a 120 million euros offer on the table. However, he may not have a choice, because after United rejected the offer, Al Hilal went directly after Fernandes—if the Portuguese midfielder decides to leave, United will have to give in. And Bruno has a lot to think about, because the club has offered him a contract with four times the salary he currently earns at Manchester United. At Old Trafford, he makes 280,000 pounds a week, which is about 17 million annually. Al Hilal is offering 700,000 a week, which is more than 43 million per year.🚨 Al Hilal are prepared to make a first offer of £84 million for Bruno Fernandes.

The Saudis, on the other hand, negotiate in net sums, and they add large bonuses on top. British media might be exaggerating, but they claim that the Portuguese star could earn more than 200 million over three years at Al Hilal. Including bonuses, the 30-year-old midfielder could reportedly earn up to 77 million per season! Given how much they’re offering, the Saudis don’t want to be led on. They’ve given Bruno 72 hours to decide—take it or leave it. And it’s clear that Fernandes is seriously considering it. The season is over – Man United’s defeats aren’tHis agent, Miguel Pinho, has already traveled to Riyadh, and reporters spotted him in front of the Four Seasons Hotel. The first reports say that negotiations were “positive,” whatever that may mean. Al Hilal is clear—they want Bruno Fernandes ready for the FIFA Club World Cup. And Manchester United won’t be able to rebuild its squad without making some money. Three days—that’s how long both the club and the player have to make a decision. Take it or leave it.##NAJAVA_MECA_8957213##
