Fernandes has been offered a deal worth £65million-a-year and now must decide if he wants to leave Manchester United.

If he says yes to the Saudi Pro League club then Hilal are ready to make a £100m offer.

Following the Europa League final loss to Tottenham, the 30-year-old midfielder suggested that United might consider selling him after not securing a Champions League spot.

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

He initially signed from Sporting Lisbon 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 straightforward. If the club feels it’s time to move on to make some profit or for any other reason, then so be it,” 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 committed to doing more, aiming to restore the club to its former glory. If the club ever decides that I’ve become surplus or it’s time to go our separate ways, that’s how football is—you never can predict it.”

“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 Harry 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.

However, Delap is keen to join a club playing in the Champions League and now they won’t be in that competition, the move could be in doubt.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has confirmed that his striker is expected to leave the club this summer.

The former Man United coach said on Friday: “Liam’s looking at his options for next year, which I think he’s entitled to do, and we support him with that.

“So, yes, we’ve given him the permission to do that [talk to other clubs] this week.
