Bruno Fernandes is said to be willing to sign for Al-Hilal as they increased their annual contract offer to 30-35 million euros.
This comes according to Sacha Tavolieri, who reports that there is a growing likelihood that Bruno could actually leave Manchester United this summer. Bruno’s closest circle has been in intensive talks with Al-Hilal in recent weeks to discuss a transfer.
This season has been hysterically bad for Manchester United, also tonight there was a loss, this time at Old Trafford against West Ham. – The only thing that can set the season is if they win the final of the Europa League against Tottenham. The London team is also at the end of a hysterically bad season. Tottenham lost at home at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight to Crystal Palace.
Manchester United are in 16th place in Tottenham in 17th place in the Premier League. (18.19 and 20 relegated)

The 30-year-old has already received a lucrative three-year contract offer, which he has not yet responded to. But Tavolieri reveals that now that Al-Hilal is increasing his salary bid to €30-35 million, it could be enough to persuade Bruno, who originally planned to stay at Manchester United.
Tavolieri adds that Bruno has a buyout clause of €65 million in his United contract, which Al-Hilal are willing to trigger.
Manchester United are keen to keep
hold of Bruno, as manager Ruben Amorim sees him as a key player for next season.
“No. It’s not going to happen,” Amorim said last month.
“He’s 30, I think, but still so young because he plays 55 games every season and accounts for at least 30 goal points between goals and assists. We have control of the situation, and I feel he is very happy here. Especially because he understands what we are trying to build. He’s one of Manchester United’s biggest supporters – he feels it for real.”
“Sometimes you see the frustration that everyone comments with ‘It’s not good for a captain,’ but it just shows how much he cares. These are the type of players we want. He’s not going to disappear – I’ve already told him that.”
Fernandes joined United from Sporting Lisbon in 2020. Since then, he has made 285 appearances and scored 98 goals, but only won one EFL Cup and one FA Cup.
