Bruno Fernandes has been set a deadline of next week to decide if he wants to leave Manchester United and sign a £200million deal with Al-Hilal.
The Saudi Arabian club want an answer by the end of May and are increasingly hopeful that Fernandes can be persuaded to walk away from Old Trafford.
They are ready to offer United a transfer fee of around £100m if Fernandes accepts a three-year contract worth a basic £700,000-a-week and up to £65m-a-season including signing-on fee and bonuses.
United sources have re-iterated that they do not want to sell their captain and best player, but the club are under even greater financial pressure after defeat to Tottenham in Wednesday's Europa League final cost them £100m in Champions League revenue.
