<p>Per journalist <a href="https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1929244065494667629" target="_blank"><em>Ben Jacobs</em></a>, the Saudi Pro League giants believe they are "close" to convincing Fernandes to join them this summer after several rounds of positive talks. The Portuguese midfielder is currently discussing his possible move to the Middle East with his family, while the club has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-transfer-ultimatum-al-hilal-offer-man-utd-captain-s-future-still-in-the-air/blt30c43141e081345b" target="_blank">issued an ultimatum to the player</a> that they want an answer by Friday, June 6.</p>
