Bruno Fernandes continues to attract attention beyond Europe, with Saudi clubs keeping a close eye on his situation ahead of future transfer windows. While speculation around his long-term future refuses to go away, there is no immediate movement expected as Manchester United and their captain navigate a challenging period.
Softfootball understands that Fernandes was left hurt after discovering that members of the club hierarchy were open to him leaving last summer. Despite that disappointment, the Portuguese midfielder chose to stay and lead the team through a difficult transitional phase.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle,who provided the latest on the midfielder situation, Romano posted:
Bruno Fernandes remains among top names on Saudi dealmakers for summer 2026, not a realistic deal for January. Decision will be up to Bruno again in the future.
The update makes it clear that any potential move is a long-term conversation rather than an imminent one. On the pitch, Fernandes has continued to deliver. The United captain has been in fine form this season, most recently producing a stunning free-kick and registering an assist in a dramatic 4-4 draw against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
His performance once again underlined his importance to the side, even as questions about the club’s direction and his long-term future linger in the background.
