Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes continues to be a primary target for Saudi Arabian recruiters ahead of the summer 2026 transfer window. While interest remains high, a move during the upcoming January winter window is considered unrealistic.

The Portuguese midfielder previously revealed in an interview that there had been internal discussions at Manchester United regarding his potential departure. According to Romano, Fernandes remains one of the "top targets" for Saudi dealmakers planning for next summer. However, the final decision regarding any potential transfer will rest entirely with the player himself.

Currently, Fernandes is under contract with Manchester United until 2027, with the club holding an option to extend the deal by an additional year. Despite ongoing speculation about his future, the midfielder remains a central figure for the team, having recorded 5 goals and 7 assists in 17 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
