A “take it or leave it” offer is said to have been tabled, with Fernandes having 72 hours in which to make a decision. His agent, Miguel Pinto, has been in Riyadh to talk terms - with Al-Hilal eager to have business completed before the 2025 Club World Cup gets underway.
WHAT NEXT?
The offer to Fernandes is said to be worth £700,000-a-week, tax free, which will equate to £200m over three years - including bonuses. Al-Hilal are also willing to pay United a £100m ($135m) fee for their talismanic skipper.
