Bruno Fernandes Says He Rejected Saudi Move to Stay at Man United

He credits a conversation with his wife for choosing to continue at Old Trafford.

Overview

  • The Manchester United captain confirmed he held talks with a Saudi Pro League club and turned down what he described as a life‑changing financial offer.
  • Al-Hilal were reported to be ready to pay around £100m, but Fernandes said the move did not align with his goals at the club.
  • His deal is reported to run until 2027 with an option year and to include a clause allowing a move outside England for about £56.68m if triggered early enough, according to BBC Sport reporting cited by outlets.
  • Fresh links to Bayern Munich were knocked down by German reporter Christian Falk, who says club decision‑makers called the rumours not true and see no chance of a move at present.
  • Industry watchers suggest the Bayern chatter functions as negotiation leverage for an improved United contract, while Fernandes has indicated he is content for now and could revisit his options later in his career.
