Bruno Fernandes is not swayed at all by the temptation of money sent from Saudi Arabia.
The British Telegraph reported on the 7th (Korea time) "Saudi League club Al Hilal is ready to offer Manchester United captain Bruno more than 1 million pounds (about 1.9 billion won) per week. After Mohamed Salah decided to stay at Liverpool and named Fernandes as a strong target, Al-Hilal is in the transfer market to sign him, reports said.
The Telegraph said al-Hilal had already offered conditions to Bruno's side. According to the media, Al Hilal plans to offer four to five times the annual salary Bruno is currently receiving from Manchester United. Bruno is receiving 250,000 pounds a week (about 465 million won) from Manchester United, and if he gets a five-fold offer, he will be 1.25 million pounds a week (about 2.3 billion won). In terms of annual salary, it amounts to 65 million pounds (about 120.8 billion won).
Since Saudi clubs offer multi-year contracts while recruiting European superstars, for example, if Bruno signs a three-year contract with Al Hilal, he can earn more than 350 billion won in Hanwha. It is a huge amount that cannot be compared to playing in Europe.
However, Bruno was found to have no intention of leaving Manchester United. "According to the current story, Bruno doesn't seem to be very interested in a transfer," said David Onstein, a reporter with The Athletic in England and the highest public confidence in the Premier League. However, journalist Onstein added "Things may change if a huge amount of money is offered."
Crucially, journalist Onstein predicted that even if Al Hilal really wants Bruno, if he wants to continue his career in Europe, and Manchester United don't intend to cash him in regardless of his financial situation, the story will likely end up with Bruno remaining at Old Trafford this summer and next season as well.
Manchester United are also reportedly not considering any offers for Bruno. Coach Hoobeng Amorim and Manchester United are building a Bruno-centered future. Bruno is playing an ace role with 19 goals and 18 assists even though Manchester United is having its worst season.
Meanwhile, Al Hilal is aiming for a world-class player to become an Asian champion. Al Hilal, who reached the top of Asia in 2021, is seeking the Asian championship again as he continues to collect superstars. Neymar wants to supply a new ace after he leaves.
Recently, Al Hilal bombed Gwangju FC 7-0 in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League (ACL) in the 2024-2025 season, but lost to Al Ahli in the semifinals. Al Hilal, who was angry at the elimination of the semifinals, immediately moved to recruit Bruno, but it is expected to be difficult to achieve.
