Bruno Fernandes has been playing for Manchester United for 5 years and 9 months, and 2025-2026 could be his last season at Old Trafford. The captain of Ruben Amorim's side turned down a super bid from Saudi Arabia in the summer, but at the end of the season, the 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder could be snapped up for £57m (€65m).
The information was revealed by the tabloid The Sun, which also explains why Bruno Fernandes is unlikely to leave a year earlier than the expiry of his current commitment.
The Portuguese international turned down the very financially advantageous transfer to Saudi Arabia (to Al-Hilal or Al-Nassr of the Pro League) in favor of staying in England. The Times wrote that it would have been about a salary of 3.2 million euros per month, over 38 million annually!

“I feel good here. I still want to fulfill my dreams”
“The midfielder is convinced he can help the Red Devils end the crisis, but could leave before the 2026-27 season. Fernandes has a £57m release clause in his contract which can only be activated by non-Premier League clubs.” write the cited source.
The Englishmen suggest a move to Saudi Arabia is likely to be discussed next summer. Bruno Fernandes explained why he did not accept the move this year: “As I have always said, I feel good here. I still want to fulfill my dreams.
But obviously I can't speak for the club. I heard a lot of news. I saw a lot of people saying that I already had an agreement to leave next season. If the club made that deal, I certainly didn't participate!”.

I didn't talk to anyone. My agent also knows how I work, so if he wants to talk to me, it will be after the World Cup. Because until then I will not open any negotiations about my future

His wife convinced him not to go: “Have you achieved everything you wanted?”
Bruno Fernandes wanted to explain what convinced him not to leave: “The first question when I spoke to my wife was: 'Look, we have this offer from Saudi Arabia'. And obviously, the first thing she said to me was: “Did you achieve everything you wanted at the club?”.

Because he knows I didn't make it. And when I talk about how I didn't meet my goals at the club, that mostly comes from what he told me. Just as I'm not convinced, she's not sure either. But if I don't try, it's clear that I won't succeed either.”
