Bruno Fernandes had in his hands a “crazy” proposal with rich salaries from Al Hilal, but responded negatively, choosing to remain in Manchester United.
In statements he made during the press conference ahead of the Nations League semifinal between Portugal and Germany, the 30 -year -old Portuguese midfielder referred to the reasons why he chose to say no to the Saudi Arabian team, stressing that he chose to continue to fight.
In detail what the Portuguese midfielder said:
“There was an opportunity. The president called me and asked me if I wanted to leave. They were waiting for me. I talked to the coach, with Amorim. He asked me not to go. Manchester United didn’t want to sell me. They don’t need the money.
If I wanted to leave, they would have done it strong. Al Hilal was very kind. They talked to my agenda. Then I talked to my wife. He asked me, “What do you want to do?” It always supports my decisions. It would be easy to move there.
I know the Portuguese players there very well, but I want to play at the highest level and claim important titles. I can do it and I still want it. I’m passionate about football. “
