Rio Ferdinand has revealed his feelings towards Bruno Fernandes. After reading the Manchester United skipper rejected a huge offer from a Saudi Arabian club.
The Saudi Arabian giants have been trying to sign the Portugal international in recent weeks. And have made direct contact with the player’s entourage last week.
The Daily Mail has revealed that Bruno’s agent Miguel Pinho spent three days at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh last week. Where he held face-to-face talks with club officials.
The Saudi Arabian club have reportedly made a bid worth £200m on a three-year deal. And are ready to make a £100m bid for the midfielder from United. However, reports on Tuesday suggested Bruno has already made a decision on his future and rejected an offer from the Saudi club.
Ferdinand could not contain his delight at the news, which he said made him very happy.
“Listen, I have to be honest with you.” he said on his YouTube channel.
“I don’t know if he can say no. He’s 30 years old and he’s at a club that’s struggling.”
“Bruno will stay, he’s our top scorer, our best passer, our biggest creator. He’s got a lot of it and he’s our captain,” he added.
“I woke up this morning very happy and I sent him a message. I won’t go into details about it, but he’s a great guy.”
