Kevin Filling (AIK)
October 2025
Manchester United opened negotiations around €3m for 16-year-old striker Kevin Filling, reinforcing INEOS’ youth-first rebuild after landing Chido Obi and Sekou Kone. United are moving early amid Bundesliga competition, pitching a defined academy-to-U21 path and accelerated senior integration if benchmarks on physical development and output are met. Deal structure likely includes appearance and sell-on add-ons, education and relocation guarantees, and phased integration milestones. United’s recruitment emphasises pressing forwards with multi-lane movement and first-touch finishing. AIK’s stance: maximise upside while retaining development protections. Registration timing and work-permit criteria dictate loan-back or immediate U21 placement.
