Bruno Fernandes linked with shock exit from Manchester United ahead of Club World Cup

The transfer market is heating up once again, and this time the spotlight is on Bruno Fernandes. According to sources close to the player, Al Hilal have reignited their pursuit of the Manchester United captain with one clear goal: to make him the star of their squad for the 2025 Club World Cup.

Key progress was made on Monday, when representatives from the Saudi club met with Bruno’s agent and legal team to advance negotiations. The ambition from Al Hilal is bold and unmistakable: they want Bruno Fernandes to be the leader of their project heading into the biggest club tournament of next year.

The 29-year-old remains a central figure at Manchester United, but with the club struggling for form and Saudi offers growing stronger, a move that once seemed far-fetched is now a real possibility. The package on the table is not only sporting—it includes record-breaking figures and major commercial benefits.

Al Hilal are no strangers to high-profile signings, having already landed stars like Neymar and Milinkovic-Savic. Now, they are targeting a player with proven leadership, Champions League pedigree, and global appeal. Bruno fits that profile perfectly, and his signing would send a strong message from the Saudi Pro League to the rest of the footballing world.

Premier League fans would hate to see him go, but ultimately, the decision lies with the player himself and how talks develop in the coming days.

Saudi Arabia want Bruno as their new icon

Al Hilal are dreaming big—and to conquer the world, they need a global figure. Bruno Fernandes is at the top of that list, and the wheels are already in motion.
