Al-Hilal offers Manchester’s Fernandes $700,000 a week Wage

Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal has made a stunning offer to Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, reportedly offering him a whopping £700,000 per week to leave Old Trafford.

According to sources close to the negotiations, Al-Hilal has been chasing Fernandes for several months and has now made a formal offer to the Portuguese international.

The deal would make Fernandes one of the highest-paid players in the world, surpassing even the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The offer is believed to be a four-year contract, with Al-Hilal willing to pay Fernandes a staggering £36.4 million per year.

This would be a significant increase on his current salary at Manchester United, where he earns around £200,000 per week.

Fernandes has been a key player for Manchester United since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon in 2020.

He has scored 44 goals and provided 32 assists in 108 appearances for the Red Devils, helping the team to finish second in the Premier League last season.

However, with Al-Hilal’s offer on the table, Fernandes may be tempted to leave Manchester United and join the Saudi Arabian club.

The prospect of earning £700,000 per week would be a significant draw for the midfielder, who has been one of the top performers in the Premier League over the past two seasons.

Manchester United is likely to face a tough battle to keep Fernandes, with Al-Hilal’s offer being significantly higher than what the Red Devils can afford to pay.

The club’s manager, Erik ten Hag, has already spoken about the importance of keeping Fernandes at Old Trafford, but it remains to be seen whether the club can match Al-Hilal’s offer.

“Bruno is a key player for us, and we want to keep him at the club,” ten Hag said in a recent interview.

“He is a fantastic player, and we believe he has a big role to play in our future success. However, we also understand that he has to make a decision that is best for him and his family,” he said.

Fernandes has not commented publicly on the offer, but it is believed that he is considering his options carefully.

The midfielder has been linked with several top clubs in Europe, including Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Al-Hilal’s offer is by far the most lucrative.

The news of Al-Hilal’s offer has sent shockwaves through the football world, with many fans and pundits questioning the wisdom of the Saudi Arabian club’s decision to offer such a massive contract to Fernandes.

“It’s a crazy offer, and it’s hard to see how Al-Hilal can justify paying Fernandes £700,000 per week. However, if they are willing to pay it, then it’s up to Fernandes to decide whether he wants to take the money or stay at Manchester United and compete for trophies,” said football pundit, Gary Neville.

The saga is likely to continue in the coming days, with Fernandes and his representatives weighing up the pros and cons of the offer.
