Bruno Fernandes has made his decision on whether he will join Al Hilal from Manchester United, according to stunning reports.
Fernandes has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with Al Hilal tabling a mega offer to the Red Devils captain.
He has an offer on the table believed to be worth a whopping £200 million over a three-year contract, which equates to £700,000-a-week.
Man United would also be in line to receive a fee in the region of £100 million.

His agent, Miguel Pinho, spent three days in Riyadh last week, where he held face-to-face talks with Al Hilal officials.
But Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal's monstrous proposal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
On X, he wrote: "Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal.
"Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe.
"Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made."
Al Hilal were desperate to sign Fernandes ahead of this month's Club World Cup, which takes place in the United States and begins on June 15.
It was reported that the star midfielder's family weren't convinced by a move to Saudi Arabia.
Man United jetted out to Asia following the final game of the season and Ruben Amorim was asked if his side's win over Hong Kong may prove to be the Portuguese's final appearance for the club.
"I don’t think so. I don’t know for sure, nobody knows, but I don’t think so. I think he’s seeing us taking some actions to change things and that’s all he asks," he said.
"I think he wants to stay. He is saying no to a lot of things, but that shows he wants to win. He’s really young, he’s really good, he needs to be in the best league in the world."
Fernandes has been at Old Trafford since January 2020 following his transfer from Sporting CP.
He has made 290 appearances for the club, scoring an impressive 98 goals.
In July 2023, the 30-year-old was appointed club captain.
He appears committed to Man United despite a woeful campaign last season.
They finished 15th in the Premier League, recording a measly 42 points after winning just 11 league games.
And Amorim's side lost the Europa League final, losing 1-0 to Tottenham in Bilbao last month.
