Bruno Fernandez rejected a favorable move to Saudi Arabia earlier this summer, but he has a new opportunity to see him link to former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo
Bruno Fernandez has renewed interest from Saudi Arabia, while Al Nasr is the newest club to express his interest in Manchester United captain. The Portuguese midfielder was previously linked to his move to the Middle East earlier this summer.
Al-Hilal had offered a favorable offer to Fernandez, who he would have seen a bank about 70 million euros (£61.1 million) a year. The Saudi Arabian side was happy to offer United 120 million euros (£144.7 million) to the star midfielder.
However, Fernandez declined his interest and decided to stay at Old Trafford. However, Portuguese playmakers have new opportunities to set out after a renewed interest in the Middle East.
According to Portugal’s Outlet A Bola, Al-Nassr is interested in Fernandez’s move. Manager Jorge Jesus is working with a former Club Sports Lisbon midfielder to guide the club’s interest.
Al-Nassr wants to know if Fernandez is open to movement. If he pursues the Switch, the United star will link with his compatriots Cristiano Ronaldo and Joa Felix.

As it stands, Fernandez has not spoken about his renewed interest in his services, but after turning down the switch to Al-Hilal, he argued that United’s attitude was key to his appeal to stay.
“I answer, and I asked you not to ask me any more about it,” Fernandez said. I had a wait to think about the future.
“As I always said, if Manchester United thought it was, I would be happy to do it. I spoke to coach Reuben Amorim. He shouldn’t go to me. The club said they didn’t want to sell me only if I wanted to leave.”

“It was a very ambitious proposal,” he added. “The president was a great person. We never discussed the amount (in the beginning) and of course, with my agent, I spoke with my wife and family.
“It was an easy move on a family level too… I had Joao Cancelo there. My kids are used to playing with him on the varsity team. We have great friendships.
