In a shocking turn of events, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes might be on the verge of a massive exit as reports emerge that Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is ready to splurge!

Fernandes has shone like a diamond in a sea of disappointment this season, as United struggled to find form, finishing a dismal 15th in the Premier League and narrowly missing out on the Champions League after a Europa League final heartbreak.

However, in a bid to finance their ambitious rebuild plans, United’s hierarchy is now considering parting ways with their captain. The aim is to recreate a top-tier squad that fits manager Ruben Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 formation.

While rumors of moves to European powerhouses like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have floated around, it’s Al-Hilal that’s making the loudest noises.

A recent report indicates that Fernandes has been given a pressing ultimatum by Al-Hilal: make a decision on his potential transfer by the end of the week, as they need to finalize their squad for next month's Club World Cup.

Intriguingly, reports suggest that Fernandes' agent met with Al-Hilal’s executives in Riyadh's opulent Four Seasons hotel, engaging in substantial discussions about a lucrative deal.

The financial package being proposed could reach a staggering £300 million! That includes a salary that would see Fernandes' earnings multiply— quadrupling his current £280,000 a week to a whopping £700,000, tax-free!

Should Fernandes agree, Al-Hilal is poised to present a formal offer to United, rumored to be in the ballpark of £100 million.

Football Insider highlights that United is now considering bids between £80-100 million for the star. Former Premier League scout Mick Brown weighed in, hinting at the club’s precarious financial state post-European qualification failure.

He emphasized that while manager Ruben Amorim views Fernandes as pivotal to his plans, the harsh realities of the market might force the club's hand: 'If a jaw-dropping offer comes in, especially in this £80-100 million range, it will be hard for them to turn it down.'

As the clock ticks down, all eyes are on Fernandes as fans and pundits alike wonder if the Premier League's shining star will stay or take the lucrative plunge into the Saudi Pro League.
