However, according to The Daily Mail and Ben Jacobs, Al-Hilal has informed the Portuguese international that he will have to make a final decision on whether to accept the offer by the end of Thursday.
Fernandes’ representatives have been in intensive negotiations with Al-Hilal
for some time, and the Saudi Arabian club have now presented their final “take it or leave” offer.
The 30-year-old has just two years left on his current contract with Manchester United, and Al-Hilal are willing to pay a whopping €120 million to sign him this summer. Thus, the total cost of a transfer to Saudi Arabia could reach 360 million euros, including transfer fees and salary payments.

“You can see it in the performances, the leadership and the passion he (Fernandes) shows in the games. It is really important, especially in such moments.
“You could see it in the last game (against Aston Villa). I felt that the team played without pressure, they performed quite well, and everyone wanted the ball.

“He should too, because he’s the captain. He is very important for us and for what we want to build with this team.
