Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will be open to leaving the Old Trafford club at the end of the season, according to the Daily Mail.
The Red Devils star has attracted interest from Saudi Pro League clubs this summer but has remained at the club.
Fernandes wants to remain at Man United for one more season and would be open to leaving next summer, when he would have one year left on his £280,000-a-week deal.
While it seems unlikely that the 31-year-old will leave Theatre of Dreams this summer, the situation could yet change if Al-Ittihad make him a take-it-or-leave-it offer.
The Saudi transfer window closes on September 10, and a deal that would eclipse Al-Hilal’s proposal to quadruple his salary could be on the cards.
Al-Hilal offered the Man United star wages in excess of £65 million per season, and were ready to offer him a three-year deal.
Al-Ittihad could be willing to go close to doubling the offer Al-Hilal have offered Fernandes, and nothing can be ruled out.
He is having problems adapting to a deeper midfield role after Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha replaced him in the two No.10 positions in head coach Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system.
The Red Devils skipper is playing alongside Casemiro in the middle of the park, and he was unable to influence the proceedings against Arsenal and Fulham.
The Craven Cottage club exploited the midfield duo after Alex Iwobi revealed his teammates knew they would be able to get behind them.
Man United have plans to have Brighton & Hove Albion star Carlos Baleba and his Crystal Palace counterpart Adam Wharton playing there going forward.
