Al Hilal seek to disrupt Manchester United’s transfer plans following Bruno Fernandes unwillingness to join the Saudi Arabian club.
The Saudi Pro League side have been negotiating a deal for the 31-year-old attacking midfielder for weeks, but Fernandes has rejected them because he wants to stay in Europe.
Before the Club World Cup, Al Hilal were willing to spend an astronomical sum to complete a transaction.
However, they have since been obliged to look for alternative targets, and Ederson of Atalanta, who has been courted by United, is one of the names that is currently of major interest.

Although United have prioritized reviving their attack in the early months of the summer transfer window, Ruben Amorim is also eager to expand his options in the heart of the midfield.
While a deal for Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo is currently gaining momentum after he approved a transfer to Old Trafford, a deal for Wolves’ Matheus Cunha has already been finalized.
However, United intend to make significant changes to Amorim’s midfield after they have made some sales, and Ederson is a player who many much admire.
In recent months, a number of elite European teams have had discussions with the player’s agent, Andre Cury, including United.
The 25-year-old, who is valued at over £50 million, has also drawn interest from Manchester City. Nevertheless, The Mirror reported that Al Hilal are now thinking about making a move of their own.
The Saudi team are about to undergo significant change, as they are also in extensive talks with Simone Inzaghi, the manager of Inter Milan, about replacing Jorge Jesus, who left in early May.
