Bruno Fernandes has emerged as a top transfer target by Saudi clubs who are still laying a siege on Europe for elite level footballers. The Portuguese midfielder has cemented his place in Man United squad and was recently hoisted into a lead role by Erik ten Hag.
With the January transfer window at the corner, Bruno Fernandes has emerged as transfer priority for Saudi clubs as per reports from Italian football journalist Rudy Galetti.
According to Galetti, representatives of Saudi clubs are ready for talks with Bruno Fernandes’ representatives for a possible move and are ready to push through a deal with their usual juicy transfer offer.
Bruno Fernandes plays a lead role in Manchester United. He is key to Erik ten Hag Man United squad plans. However, United may have to brace up for a tempting offer for the player as Premier League rivals Liverpool did with similar storm of interest for Mohamed Salah.
As things stand, Manchester United are more likely to turn down any possible offer for Fernandes but it is still unclear whether the Portuguese will pander to a lucrative deal from the Gulf state.
In 2022, Bruno Fernandes signed contract extension with Manchester United untill 2026. He has three years contract remaining on his deal and will likely continue to play a crucial role at the club until he neared the end of his contract.
He was appointed new Man United captain by Erik ten Hag, replacing out-of-favor English center-back Harry Maguire. Despite Man United difficult start this season, Bruno Fernandes has come up clutch for the Red Devils. He nailed home a late-winner against Fulham and has struck four times so far this term.
