Premier League
Manchester United faces a season in which they seek sporting calm, an objective that has been elusive at Old Trafford for too many campaigns. Despite these gray seasons, there has always been a player who lived up to expectations, Bruno Fernandes, who now seems to be on his way out of the club.
With the arrival of Rúben Amorim to the bench, the board decided to give him the freedom to shape the squad and strengthen the team with additions such as Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and the young Diego León.
The Portuguese attacking midfielder is the true leader of the dressing room, the captain, and the standout player who holds United together in challenging times. However, reports from England indicate that the player has been holding private talks with Al Ittihad, one of the top clubs in Saudi Arabia. This possibility arises after last summer when Al Hilal tempted the player with a gigantic contract close to 230 million euros, an offer he ultimately rejected because he still wanted to compete at the highest level in Europe.
Bruno Fernandes is convinced of leaving Manchester United
This time, the situation is different. Fernandes, 30, is beginning to show signs of weariness from always having to be the reference point for a team that cannot establish itself among the continental elite. The opportunity to share the dressing room with stars like Karim Benzema or N’Golo Kanté is very appealing and may have opened the door to a change of scenery. According to MundoDeportivo, the player has tabled economic demands close to 40 million euros annually, a figure that the Saudi club has yet to respond to.
Manchester United, on the other hand, considers Bruno irreplaceable and hopes that these negotiations do not succeed. The institution fears that losing their captain would be a huge blow both in sporting and morale terms, just as the new coach is attempting to build a stable project.

The Saudi league is increasingly influential in the market with its astronomical contracts, and more and more European football figures are enticed by this opportunity. Fernandes' case represents a new episode in the battle between European tradition and the economic power of the Middle East.
Although there is no official agreement yet, the mere possibility of United losing their star already worries the fans. The outcome could take place in the final days of the transfer window, depending on whether Al Ittihad accepts the player's proposed salary. If it materializes, it would be one of the most surprising moves in the market.
