Bloody hell, looks like those Saudi muppets are feeling proper confident about snaggin' Bruno Fernandes for their footy club, Al Hilal. Yeah, that's right matey, talks have been "productive" and all that bollocks. They've offered the Manchester United skipper a whoppin' £65 million a year to come play in their backyard.
Fernandes still weighing his options
The United captain hasn't given them the finger yet, so the Saudis are still hoping he'll bite. Word is, he's just chewing the fat with his fam before making the big call. United ain't publicly ruling out floggin' their star midfielder, but they haven't been chucked an actual offer, just verbal diarrhea.
But here's the kicker mate, if Fernandes takes the £65 mil, he'll be raking in the third fattest salary in world footy, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Not too shabby, eh?
United sweating over their skipper
United are shitting bricks because the next few days are gonna be make or break for Fernandes' future. If the deal goes through for £100 mil, it'll be a new record sale for United, smashing the £80 mil they got for Ronaldo back in '09.
That kind of dosh could finance some serious wheeling and dealing for United's squad revamp. They're already close to inking a £62.5 mil deal for that Wolves bloke, Matheus Cunha.
A season to forget for United
Let's be real, without Fernandes' contributions, United's season would've been a proper shitshow. After they choked in the Europa League final against Tottenham, Fernandes straight up said the club might wanna cash in on him after failing to qualify for the Champions League.
So, there you have it mate. Saudi moneybags are circling, Fernandes is mulling it over, and United are facing a summer of uncertainty. The beautiful game, innit?
