Bruno was in action for Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Europa League, with his team losing 1-0 to Tottenham on Wednesday.

The midfielder has been on the radar of Saudi Arabian clubs, with new reports stating that Al Hilal are offering him a €231 million over three-year deal.

Al Hilal is eager to sign Bruno Fernandes and, as usual, isn't too concerned about the cost of prying him away from Manchester United.

Al Hilal wants Bruno

According to the Daily Mail, Al Hilal has offered the Portuguese midfielder a three-year contract worth €700,000 a week, totalling €77 million annually and have demanded a swift decision.

To persuade Manchester United, the Saudis are reportedly offering around €120 million for their captain, arguably the only player whose value hasn't diminished after a dismal season.

Despite the lack of silverware and a disappointing Premier League campaign, the Portuguese international still managed 19 goals and 17 assists in 56 appearances.

More than enough reason for the club of Rúben Neves and João Cancelo to want to make Bruno Fernandes the most expensive signing in the history of the (free-spending!) Saudi league, easily surpassing the €90 million Al Hilal paid PSG for Neymar.

Despite the substantial offer, the British publication asserts that Manchester United remains determined to keep Bruno Fernandes, a key player around whom Ruben Amorim plans to build his project to overhaul the English club.

Still, the figures involved are hard to ignore, and even the Portuguese midfielder himself has admitted he's willing to help the club... even if it means moving on.

Given the Saudis' urgency, decisions will have to be made in the coming hours. Al Hilal wants to waste no time preparing for the Club World Cup.
