According to the Daily Mail, there is a confusion as to the existence of a potential release clause of 60 million pounds sterning in the contract of Fernandes, his current club insisting on the absence of an official clause.
For his part, al-Hilal has the impression that there is an informal threshold ” Beyond which United would be ready to negotiate. ”
The offer is certainly attractive, the Saudi club being apparently ready to make a record offer for Fernandes.
A Saudi club is ready to make a record offer for Fernandes.
The Portuguese international has been the star player of United for several seasons and has constantly achieved excellent performance in teams far below the average. It is therefore not surprising that Al-Hilal is ready to pay Fernandes up to 65 million pounds sterling per year to attach his services. However, reports suggest that the Captain of Manchester United wishes to stay at the club, with the 2026 World Cup looming on the horizon and his relationship with coach Ruben Amorim increasingly narrow.
Fernandes would like to stay
Fernandes' offensive performance in Old Trafford has been remarkable; In March, he joined an exclusive club in the Premier League, becoming the third player in the history of the Premier League to register 25 goals in three consecutive seasons, all competitions (only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland also achieved this feat).
The Saudi interest will be the last concern of Fernandes when he is preparing for what is undoubtedly the most important match of the Manchester United season, the Europa League return match against the Athletic Club on Thursday. The Red Devils have taken a wide advance 3-0 outside the Basque Country and are largely favorite to qualify for the final.
