Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been linked with a move away from the club, and they want Pedro Goncalves to replace him.
Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal are interested in signing the Portuguese International, and they are prepared to pay a substantial amount of money in order to get the deal done.
The midfielder will be offered a £180 million three-year contract at the Saudi Arabian club. It will be interesting to see if the player decides to move on.
Bruno Fernandes has been exceptional
Fernandes has been outstanding for Manchester United this season, and he has been an indispensable asset for them. He has 19 goals and 20 assists to his name in all competitions. His departure will be a major blow for Manchester United, and it remains to be seen whether they can replace him adequately.
According to a report from The Mirror, they have identified Sporting CP attacking midfielder Pedro Gonçalves as a potential replacement. The 26-year-old Portuguese international has done quite well for Sporting CP, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Manchester United. The player is reportedly on the radar of Aston Villa as well.
