Bruno Fernandes next club odds: Manchester United star favoured for Saudi move

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes sent tremors through the club’s fanbase in the wake of this month’s Europa League final defeat to Spurs – revealing that he would be open to a transfer if the owners needed immediate cash.

Speaking to reporters, the 30-year-old midfielder said: “If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it is what it is. And football sometimes is like this.”

With United in financial disarray and no European football in 2025/26, now is the perfect time to analyse Ladbrokes’ and bet365’s odds for Fernandes’ next destination. 

Manchester United – 1/3 

(bet365)

While a move away from Old Trafford appears increasingly likely due to the club’s monetary struggles, Fernandes remains keen to stay put. The Portuguese star expressed this sentiment in comments made after United’s disappointing display against Tottenham. 

“I have always been honest,” he said. “I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go. I'm eager to do more, to be able to bring the club to the great days.”

UK bookmaker bet365 has listed Fernandes to remain at United at 1/3 – but those odds may fluctuate when global footballing powers begin to flock…

Any Saudi Arabian club – 4/1

(Ladbrokes)

Every major European club is acutely aware of the allure of life-changing money presented to players by Saudi Arabian outfits. 

Four of the nation’s clubs are owned by the Public Investment Fund – a government-led entity overseen by Prince Mohamed bin Salman. In short: this allows Saudi teams to meet virtually any asking price.

If United are desperate for immediate cash, it stands to reason that Saudi Arabian sides will get in touch. At 4/1 with Ladbrokes, this is a solid value bet.

Real Madrid – 12/1 

(Ladbrokes)

Injuries have plagued Real Madrid’s campaign – and the Santiago Bernabeu faithful endured a rare trophyless season as a direct result of necessary positional alterations.

Fernandes would serve to fill gaps left by midfielders forced to cover other areas and, with Luka Modric departing this summer, space for an additional playmaker is available. Ladbrokes price this potential transfer at 12/1; it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Barcelona – 16/1 

(Ladbrokes)

La Liga champions, Barcelona, are renowned for welcoming expert passers – not least those from the Iberian Peninsula. Fernandes absolutely sits in that bracket, as proven by double-digit assist figures across every season since 2017/18. 

Higher-ups at the Nou Camp might envision the ex-Sporting man as a means to inject some unabashed passion into its youthful midfield. 

Inter Milan – 25/1 

(bet365)

Inter’s summer transfer budget heavily depends on the club’s performance in this year’s Champions League final against PSG. Should the Italian giants come out on top, owners Oaktree Capital may unlock a financial war chest.

Fernandes sits right in line with Inter’s midfield age range, too; Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan and Darmian are all in the 30+ club. 

Yet, at 25/1 with bet365, a San Siro switch appears least likely of Fernandes’ options.
