BRUNO FERNANDES is entertaining a shock move to Saudi Arabia, it’s been claimed.
Manchester United’s skipper is currently being eyed by Al-Hilal, who are looking to make a marquee signing this summer following Neymar’s departure.
The Saudi Pro League side are understood to be willing to pay a whopping £100MILLION to secure the services of Fernandes, who would take home a pretty penny if he were to move to The Kingdom.
And the 30-year-old is said to be “giving serious consideration” to the move.
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim talks for the Portugal international to join Al-Hilal are already underway.
Should Fernandes accept the lucrative offer on the table, his last game as a United player could take place TODAY.
The Red Devils play Hong Kong in a friendly this afternoon as part of their end-of-season tour of Asia.
Fernandes was named in the starting XI for the match, with manager Ruben Amorim saying of his inclusion: “We need to respect and do better than the last game.
“We understand the players are tired from all the commercial things for our fans.
“Now it’s time to perform to show good things for our fans.”

Fernandes is just one of several United stars up for sale this summer.
Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are also in line to be sold to help finance Amorim’s overhaul of the squad.
The trio likely wouldn’t have been up for sale had United secured Champions League football by winning last week’s Europa League final.
And in the aftermath of the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, Fernandes admitted his future at Old Trafford is out of his hands.
The former Sporting Lisbon ace said: “I have always been honest.
“I’ve always said I will be here until the club says to me that it’s time to go.
“I’m eager to do more, to be able to bring the club the great days.
“In the day that the club thinks that I’m too much or it’s time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it.
“But I’ve always said it and I keep my word in the same way.
“If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it’s what it is.
“And football sometimes is like this.”
Fernandes featured in a post-season friendly against Hong Kong and Amorim was asked about his future after the match.

Asked if he would leave, Amorim responded: “I don’t think so. I don’t know for sure, nobody does. But I don’t think so.
“I think he wants to stay. He is saying no to a lot of things but it shows that he wants to win.”
