Al-Hilal Ready to Break Premier League Transfer Record for Bruno Fernandes
Posted 1 day 18 hours ago
Saudi Pro League giant Al-Hilal is reportedly preparing a historic move to sign Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes this summer. In an aggressive bid to fill the void left by Neymar, the Riyadh-based club is willing to go all out to secure the Portuguese playmaker—potentially breaking the Premier League's current transfer record.
According to GiveMeSport, Al-Hilal has identified Fernandes as their top target and is ready to submit a staggering offer. The club is reportedly willing to spend more than £115 million—the fee Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo in 2023, which still stands as the Premier League's most expensive transfer to date.

In addition to the record-breaking transfer fee, the Saudi club is reportedly ready to offer a lucrative three-year contract worth £65 million per year—an amount that could easily tempt any player. Despite the enormous financial incentive, reports from England suggest that both Manchester United and Fernandes remain uninterested in the proposal.
Fernandes is seen as a core figure in Erik ten Hag's squad, and the Red Devils are not eager to part ways with their influential captain. Al-Hilal's pursuit underscores the Saudi Pro League’s growing ambition to attract top-tier talent from Europe.
However, this potential deal also highlights the increasing resistance from elite clubs and players to such overtures, even when eye-watering sums are on the table.

Nonetheless, their interest in breaking records proves that Saudi clubs remain serious players in the evolving global football market.
