Jorge Jesus Reveals Past Attempts to Lure Bruno Fernandes to Saudi Arabia
Jorge Jesus, currently at the helm of Al-Nassr, has opened up about his unsuccessful efforts to bring Bruno Fernandes on board during his tenure at Al-Hilal, which ended earlier this year. The dynamic playmaker faced a staggering £100 million ($135m) proposal from a الدوري السعودي للمحترفين outfit, yet Jesus emphasized that the Portuguese star’s dedication to Manchester United and their manager Ruben Amorim proved unshakeable.
“I had my sights set on him, but Bruno’s mind was made up to stick around,” Jesus shared in a recent interview with Sport Informa. “We discussed it the previous year, and this time, I was aware he’d chosen to align with Amorim’s vision. He’s competing in what’s often hailed as the top league globally, though I personally rate the Spanish La Liga higher.”
Shared History Between Jesus and Fernandes at Sporting CP
The paths of Jesus and Fernandes crossed briefly during the 2017-18 campaign at نادي سبورتينغ لشبونة, where they celebrated victory in the Taca da Liga. This shared success likely fostered a strong bond, but it wasn’t sufficient to persuade Fernandes to abandon Manchester United for the financially alluring opportunities in the Middle East.
Fernandes’ Future at Old Trafford Amid Manchester United’s Challenges
With his contract at Old Trafford extending through 2027, Fernandes has reaffirmed his intent to contribute to United’s campaign in the next season. This comes even after the team’s disappointing 15th-place finish in the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز last year. However, should another underwhelming performance unfold-considering recent stats showing United’s lowest goal tally in over a decade- the 30-year-old might reconsider his options by 2026, potentially eyeing moves to leagues with rising prominence like the Saudi Pro League, which has invested over $2 billion in transfers since 2023.
