Manchester United have reportedly given permission to Bruno Fernandes to hold talks with Saudi Pro League sides. The Red Devils are open to selling the midfielder for the right price this summer.
As per a report in TEAMtalk, Fernandes is a top target for the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. They want to do everything possible to bring the Portuguese star to the Middle East. The report claims Al Nassr and Al Ittihad are the top sides in the race to sign the EURO 2024 star, whose side exited the tournament on Friday night.
The English publication adds that Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al Nassr are leading the chase because of the midfielder's relationship with the forward. The two have reportedly mended their relationship that hit rock bottom following the former Real Madrid star's interview with Piers Morgan.
However, the Saudi Pro League sides are not alone in the race for the Portuguese star. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Bayern Munich are also keeping tabs on the midfielder and have registered their interest.
Bruno Fernandes not pushing to leave Manchester United
Bruno Fernandes has admitted that he has no plans to leave Manchester United this summer. He revealed that there would be an exit from Old Trafford if the club want him to make space for another player in the squad.
He was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying:
“I love to step out at Old Trafford more than anything in the world. I don’t want to leave. This has always been my ultimate dream. I just want my expectations to fit with the expectations of the club. If you go talk to any fan, they will tell you the same thing.
"We want to compete for the league. We want to be playing Champions League football. We want to be in cup finals. That is the standard. That is what I want. That is what you all deserve. I just want to keep fighting. I want to be here. My family wants to be here.”
Manchester United have reportedly decided that they are open to selling most of their first-team players for the right price this summer. Fernandes' contract expires in 2026.
