Al Nassr has opened a direct line of communication with Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, exploring the possibility of signing him during the current summer transfer window.
The Saudi club is seeking to enhance its roster with a world-class player as part of its preparations for the upcoming season, based on the management's desire to support the team with strong elements.
According to British network TEAMtalk, Al Nassr has entered negotiations with Bruno Fernandes, while his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo has begun efforts to convince him to join the team.
Manchester United's stance represents the biggest obstacle to completing the deal, as the English club is adamant about retaining the player and does not seem ready to part with his services easily.
These moves come as Al Nassr's management is addressing the financial crisis the club is facing, aiming to create the right conditions for new signings during the transfer window.
The financial crisis has already caused a halt in Samu Costa's transfer to Al Nassr, as negotiations have temporarily stopped due to the financial difficulties the club is currently facing.
Al Nassr hopes to swiftly overcome its financial crisis in order to finalize the deal for Bruno Fernandes, fulfilling Cristiano Ronaldo's desire to play alongside his compatriot in the team.
