Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Eye Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes

Al Nassr are one of the Saudi Pro League clubs interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, a source has told ESPN.

Al Nassr, who signed Cristiano Ronaldo in December 2022, are looking to bolster their squad with a centre-back and an attacking midfielder, as well as a backup goalkeeper and a young striker.

A source has told ESPN that Al Nassr believe Fernandes would be a good fit in midfield, but there is an acceptance it will be very difficult to land his signature.

Al Nassr are aware that United want to keep the Portugal international but there is a belief that a large enough offer could tempt the club to cash in.

United have money to spend this summer but, according to senior sources, finances remain “tight” because of Profit and Sustainability (PSR) rules and the size of the budget for new additions will depend on some players leaving.

Fernandes, who is under contract until at least 2026, has sought assurances from United about their ambitions for the future following a disappointing campaign.
