Al-Hilal are willing to pay Manchester United £100million for captain Bruno Fernandes, talkSPORT understands.

However, they have set the Portuguese international a deadline of next week to decide if he wants the move.

The Saudi Pro League side are keen to make a statement signing before taking part in next month’s Club World Cup.

Fernandes has been offered a deal worth £65m-a-year.

Following Wednesday’s Europa League final loss to Tottenham, the 30-year-old midfielder suggested that Manchester United might consider transferring him, as the team did not secure a spot in the Champions League.

United ideally want to keep Fernandes, but are under pressure to sell to raise funds for a summer rebuild.

The 30-year-old initially signed from Sporting in 2020 for £47m and in August last year signed a new deal until 2027.

Named club captain in 2023, Fernandes admitted his future wasn’t clear following the 1-0 defeat to Spurs in Bilbao.

“I’ve always been transparent. If the club believes it’s time for us to separate because they want to generate some funds or for any other reason, it is what it is,” he stated.

“Football sometimes is like this. I’ve always said I will be here until the club says to me that it’s time to go.

“I’m passionate about doing more and helping restore the club to its former glory. The moment the club decides I’m no longer needed or it’s time to part, that’s football for you—unpredictable by nature.”

“But I’ve always said it and I keep my word in the same way.”

Following the Europa defeat, talkSPORT reported that Fernandes and the man he replaced as club captain, have become disillusioned with the team’s owners.

However, Fernandes’ importance makes a departure far less tenable than one for Maguire.

2023/24 Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal are looking to make a splash at the Club World Cup in the US, having endured a difficult season.

They’ve already surrendered their title to Al Ittihad, and have also lost record signing Neymar to Santos and more recently star manager Jorge Jesus.

Should they manage to secure Fernandes for £100m, it would a new record fee for the SPL, and also record sale for United.

The club’s previous record departure was the £80m Real Madrid paid for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

Such an income would facilitate drastic change in United’s squad, with the team close to sealing a deal for £62.5million Wolves forward Matheus Cunha.

The Red Devils have also held talks with Ipswich’s Liam Delap, and Lyon’s Rayan Cherki is a target.
