talkSPORT: B Fei is unlikely to leave the team midway through the season, Saudi Arabia will pursue him next summer

talkSPORT reports that Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is unlikely to leave the team midway through this season.

B Fee is still on the radar of the Saudi club, but the 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder made it clear to suitors in the summer that he hopes to stay at Manchester United throughout the 2025-26 season.

talkSPORT learned that B Fee's position has not changed. Leaving Manchester United six months before what may be his last time representing Portugal in the World Cup is not in his current plans.

Before this summer’s Club World Cup, Fee B received a formal offer from Riyadh Crescent. As the transfer window drew to a close, Riyadh Victory, where Ronaldo played, and Jeddah United, where Benzema played, also made contact with him. The Portugal international was tempted by a move to the Saudi league, with the opportunity to double his £300,000-a-week salary, but ultimately decided the time was not right.

Sources at Riyadh Crescent denied that they had ever made a formal offer of £100 million, although sources admitted that this was the price range that Crescent was willing to offer if Fee B had given the green light at the time. B Fee's contract with Manchester United will last until 2027, which means that Manchester United can still ask for a considerable transfer fee next year. Clubs in Saudi Arabia know that Manchester United will demand a transfer fee of more than £60 million next summer even with just one year left on the contract.

Since joining Sporting CP, B Fee has played 298 times for Manchester United and scored 100 goals. After Cunha and Mbemo joined, B Fee was asked by Amorim to play a deeper midfield role. This is not his preferred position, but it is believed that there are no problems between B Fee and Amorim, and there is no breakdown in the relationship.

Saudi officials are still in contact with B Fee's team and regard the Portuguese midfielder as their primary target in 2026. Saudi Arabia believes that signing B Fee next summer will be more feasible. They have not prepared an offer in January. Unless B Fee himself indicates that his position has changed, this situation will not change.

Riyadh Crescent is unlikely to make another offer next year. On the contrary, Jeddah United is one of the main suitors. The club is looking for a big-name midfield star in the market. It is expected that both Kante and Fabinho may leave the team in 2026.

Riyadh Victory, where Ronaldo plays, will also be interested in further communication with B Fee. It is understood that Ronaldo directly contacted Fee B through informal phone calls this summer. Although there was no substantial progress and no offer was made at that time, this situation may change in 2026. After Ronaldo successfully renewed his contract with Riyadh, he took on a formal role in the team's recruitment work and is expected to play an active role in the January and summer transfer windows next year.
