Al Nassr’s Wild Goose Chase…
In a plot twist wilder than a Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick that defies physics, Al Nassr tried to bag Manchester United’s midfield maestro, Bruno ‘The Wizard’ Fernandes, with a golden £100m offer! We’re talking about a sum of cash that could buy you the moon, a couple of stars, and maybe even a small planet or two. But alas, the Football Fable didn’t fancy leaving the Theatre of Dreams for a desert drama with old buddy Ronaldo!
Rumor has it, like a Shakespearean play gone off script, Fernandes had a heart-to-heart with his defensive forcefield wife, the mystical Madame Fernandes. She waved her magic wand of reason, conjuring up the cosmic idea of staying on European turf to chase epic trophies and fight epic battles, leaving Al Nassr with nothing but a bump in the transfer road.
Of course, Al Hilal, being the opportunistic but generous football merchants, dangled the dazzling prospect of rubbing shoulders with his fellow Portuguese pals in the Seaside Pro League. But Bruno, who’s as passionate about football as a cheetah is about running really, really fast, chose to remain at Old Trafford, the vibrant football kaleidoscope where he’s already amassed 98 goals and 86 magical assists. Yes, folks, his contract sparkles till June 2027, guarding United’s kingdom like a treasure chest of wonder!
