Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United has already indicated his interest in a move to Saudi Arabia.
According to Rudy Galetti, an Italian transfer writer, the Saudi Pro League is interested in signing United captain Victor Fernandes.
The 29-year-old midfielder, who scored the game-winning goal against Fulham on Saturday, is allegedly on the list of potential additions for next summer.
Representatives from the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which owns a majority position in Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, and Al Ahli, are expected to meet with the Portugal star to discuss the possibility of further negotiations.
However, according to the Daily Star, Fernandes has already had interest from the Saudi Pro League.
According to the magazine, the Portugal star had three chances to quit Old Trafford this summer after getting three mega-money offers from Saudi Arabian clubs.
Fernandes, on the other hand, devoted himself to United by turning them all down.
For the time being, Fernandes looks to be driven by the chance of turning United’s fortunes around after a rocky start to the season.

Speaking after netting United’s last-gasp winner at the weekend, Fernandes told the club website: “It was really good.
“Obviously we wanted to win in a different way. We could have created more chances. The last pass, the last moment of when we reach the box, we didn’t always decide well.
“But we got our win and we got our goal so that is the most important [thing].”
“We have to build momentum, we have been talking about building momentum and we haven’t done it yet.
“Now we know how important it is to get the three points in the Champions League and it will be a tough game because we have already played them at home.
“They are well organised, [a] difficult team to go through, but we hope to get the three points there and we will do everything we can to get three points to go through there.”
