Bruno Fernandes is attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal said to have him in their summer plans.

Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal have reportedly registered interest in Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes and would be willing to negotiate with the Red Devils to land the attacking midfielder.

The 30-year-old has been talismanic since joining the Red Devils from Sporting in the Winter transfer window of 2020. He was linked to an exit from the club last summer, with the likes of Barcelona reported to be interested, before he penned an extension until 2027, tying his future with the club's.

Hilal's interest

Despite the length of his contract, the Blue Waves are not discouraged from pursuing Bruno Fernandes, as Fabrizio Romano reported tonight that they have added his name to their shortlist this summer.

Per the report, Al Hilal are yet to approach the Red Devils to discuss the possible transfer. Manchester United are also not interested in selling the midfielder as they see him as an integral member of Ruben Amorim side.

Fernandes has scored 19 goals and provided 18 assists this season, a World class tally. He is also one of the superstars in the game, making him an ideal match for Al Hilal's desires.

With the exit of Neymar, the Blue Waves have been in search of a new superstar. The Saudi Arabia-based side will have to pay an exorbitant amount to prise the Manchester United captain. However, the financial requirement is not expected to be a problem for the PIF-based club. Instead the difficulty would come from convincing the player, and Manchester United.
