Al Nassr, a prominent Saudi Pro League club, has expressed interest in acquiring Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, as per a reliable source informed ESPN. The club, known for securing Cristiano Ronaldo's services in December 2022, is actively seeking to strengthen its squad by targeting a centre-back, an attacking midfielder, a back-up goalkeeper, and a young striker.
Al Nassr views Fernandes as a valuable addition to their midfield, although they acknowledge the challenging nature of securing his transfer. While Manchester United is keen on retaining the Portuguese international, there is a belief that a substantial offer could sway the club to consider a deal.
Despite having financial resources available for summer transfers, Manchester United faces constraints due to Profit and Sustainability regulations. The club's ability to make significant signings will be influenced by potential player departures.
Fernandes, contracted until at least 2026, has reportedly sought assurances from Manchester United regarding the club's future ambitions following a disappointing season. With no Champions League football next season and a risk of missing out on European qualification, the midfielder is evaluating his options.
While Fernandes is not actively pushing for a transfer, the 29-year-old is eager to maximize success in the latter stages of his career. Manchester United has already initiated a summer clear-out, with Raphaël Varane and Anthony Martial set to depart, and Christian Eriksen made available for transfer.
United is open to realistic offers for several first-team players, including Casemiro, as the club aims to manage its wage bill effectively.
