Portuguese Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, has shown flexibility towards the idea of playing in the Saudi league in the future, despite rejecting three official offers this summer from Al Hilal, Al Nassr, and Ittihad Jeddah.

According to media reports, the playmaker of the Red Devils preferred to stay for another season in the English league, affirming that his decision came after family consultations, as he believes the time is not yet right for a new experience outside Europe.

Despite rejecting the recent Saudi offers, the Saudi sports investment management still considers the player among its priorities for the summer of 2026, with expectations of greater flexibility from Manchester United to sell him for a hefty financial offer.

Reports indicate that Manchester United is considering strengthening its midfield by signing Ivorian Carlos Baleba from Brighton, in a deal that could exceed £100 million during the next transfer window.

Al Hilal had strongly attempted to finalize the deal before the Club World Cup, while Al Nassr later entered negotiations without success, and Ittihad did not hesitate to make its offer two weeks before the closure of the English market.

Thus, all eyes turn towards the summer of 2026, as intense Saudi attempts are expected to renew to convince Bruno Fernandes to move, making him one of the prominent global names that could join the Roshan Professional League.
