The speculation surrounding Manchester United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, has reignited, especially with whispers of interest from the Saudi Pro League's Al Ittihad. Just a few months ago, Fernandes turned down a staggering £200 million offer from Al Hilal, showcasing his loyalty to the Red Devils.

Despite the hefty proposals, Manchester United remained steadfast, prepared to reject up to £100 million should personal terms be agreed upon. However, it appears that the Saudi interest has resurfaced as Fernandes is now the subject of potential discussions with another club from the league.

Famed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared his insights via YouTube, suggesting that while Fernandes is committed to Manchester United for the current season, he could be tempted to explore a move to Saudi Arabia by the summer of 2026.

Romano explained, “There have been many rumors surrounding Fernandes and the Saudi clubs over the last few months. But as of now, there’s nothing concrete. Bruno is content at Manchester United, although in the future, a move could be a possibility given the ongoing admiration Saudi clubs have for him.”

The Daily Mail supports this perspective, indicating that while Fernandes is determined to stay at United through the end of the season, he may reconsider his position when he hits his 32nd birthday next season. He could then weigh options including a transition to Saudi Arabia, Major League Soccer (MLS), or prestigious European leagues.

Currently, Fernandes is linked to a lucrative £280,000-a-week contract with Manchester United, which they have the option to extend by another year. In light of recent acquisitions, the club could be more open to offers next summer for their captain.

As the transfer window draws closer to its conclusion, while some reports hint at Manchester United cashing in on Fernandes to finance a £100 million-plus bid for Carlos Baleba, multiple sources insist that a move for the Portuguese star is unlikely in the immediate future.

Fans will have to wait and watch as the saga unfolds, but one thing remains clear: Bruno Fernandes is still firmly wearing the red of Manchester United, at least for now.
