JAKARTA - Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has again become the target of Saudi Arabia's rich club Al-Hilal. Al-Hilal is not half-hearted in offering a salary of 65 million pounds or no less than IDR 1.4 trillion per year.
Fernandes has actually been the target of Al-Hilal since last season. However, MU was reluctant to let go of the captain. Because Fernandes is an irreplaceable pillar at MU.
Only, Al-Hilal refused to give up getting this Portugal national team midfielder. Even Al-Hilal prepared a lucrative offer for MU.
How not, Al-Hilal is ready to break the UK transfer record to recruit Fernandes. According to The Sun, the club did not mention the transfer price of players whose contracts at MU only ended in 2027.
However, Al-Hilal will break the record for the Moises Caicedo transfer that Chelsea bought from Brighton and Hove Albion in 2023. At that time Chelsea spent no less than 115 million pounds or more than 2.5 trillion rupiah for Caicedo transfers.
Not only that, Al-Hilal is ready to give Fernandes a high salary for a three-year contract.
According to information, Fernandes has been lured with a salary of 65 million or no less than IDR 1.4 trillion per year. If he accepts the offer, Fernandes will be one of the highest paid players in the world.
He will also be united with his national team colleague, Joao Cancelo, who previously played at Manchester City and former Wolverhampton Wanderers player Ruben Neves.
The club, based in Riyadh, is building a squad by bringing in top European players. Previously, Al-Hilal targeted Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah.
Although Salah did not mind ending his career at Anfield, he decided to extend his contract. Moreover, Salah performed well and brought Liverpool to win the English Premier League this season.
Al-Hilal hopes that the recruitment of top players, one of which is Fernandes, can be done as soon as possible. At least the runner-up of the Saudi Arabia Pro rib has received a number of new players before competing in the Club World Cup which will be held on June 15, 2025.
Only the recruitment plan seems difficult to materialize. Manager Ruben Amorim did not want his flagship players to leave. Previously Fernandes had been targeted by Real Madrid. But Amorism hindered the plan.
"[Transfer] it's never going to happen. He's not going anywhere. I've told him," Amorim said.

"I want Bruno here because we want to win the Premier League. So, we want the best players to stay with us. He is already 30 years old. But he looks young and able to play 55 games every season. He is the player I want," he said.
A red signal for Al-Hilal. Amoram doesn't want Fernandes to leave. But the situation can change if the club chooses to release the captain in order to get funds so they can buy players.
