According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Al-Hilal now believe an agreement is close, with Fernandes currently deliberating the move with his family.
The decision is expected to be influenced not just by footballing factors but also by considerations about his family’s well-being.
Al-Hilal have set a deadline for Fernandes to provide a final answer by Friday.
While no formal offer has been submitted to United, Al-Hilal are prepared to make a significant bid, reportedly around £100 million, which would surpass their previous record transfer fee.

The proposed contract for Fernandes includes a substantial salary increase, potentially making him one of the highest-paid footballers globally.
Despite this, United maintain that they do not wish to sell their captain, emphasizing his importance to the team’s future plans.
Fernandes, who has been a pivotal figure for Manchester United since his arrival in 2020, has consistently expressed his commitment to the club.
However, the allure of a lucrative contract and the opportunity to be a marquee signing for Al-Hilal ahead of the Club World Cup may influence his decision.
Fernandes was videoed with national teammate and Al-Hilal player João Cancelo today.
The situation remains fluid, with both clubs and the player weighing their options carefully.
With the Portuguese star looking closer to the move and reported to have been given another week to make a choice as the Saudi Pro League club apparently becoming more impatient with the deal, the midfielder is clearly in demand and could even be under pressure to make the correct choice – both for his career and his personal life.
