Newcastle are negotiating with RB Leipzig over the structure of a €75m + €5m add-ons deal for striker Benjamin Sesko. Manchester United are also in contact with Leipzig as the race intensifies.

July 2025
PSG are close to signing Lucas Chevalier from Lille, creating uncertainty around Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future. The Italian is reportedly unhappy after being informed of the club’s decision. Donnarumma played a key role in PSG’s Champions League triumph but could now be pushed aside. With his contract ending in 2026, clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to monitor his status closely.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
July 2025
Saudi club Al-Nassr have formally approached Manchester United for Bruno Fernandes, aiming to reunite him with Cristiano Ronaldo and new manager Jorge Jesus, who coached him at Sporting CP. Fernandes previously rejected a £200m offer from Al-Hilal but hasn’t ruled out a move. With Jesus pushing directly and United open to change, Al-Nassr hope Ronaldo’s influence will seal the deal for the Portuguese playmaker.
Manchester United
July 2025
Manchester United’s 4,321-game streak of including an academy graduate in every first-team squad since 1937 may end in the 2025/26 season. With Alejandro Garnacho linked to Chelsea and Kobbie Mainoo possibly unavailable due to injury or suspension, United risk breaking their historic youth record that spans 88 years and 44 major trophies.
Christian Eriksen (Free Agent)
July 2025
Wrexham are unlikely to pursue Christian Eriksen despite exploring interest. The club believes the veteran midfielder lacks the physical capacity to compete in the Championship next season. Eriksen, released by Manchester United, is considering options but prefers to stay at a higher level. Wrexham have since secured Lewis O’Brien as their record signing to bolster midfield.
Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
July 2025
Borussia Dortmund are holding internal talks over re-signing Jadon Sancho, who is open to halving his salary to return after failed spells at Manchester United and Chelsea. Juventus previously showed interest but failed to agree terms. Sancho, now 25, has struggled to recapture form, with limited goal contributions across United, Chelsea, and a brief loan back at Dortmund. A deal is possible but Dortmund are cautious, aiming to avoid financial risk in a third stint.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
July 2025
Manchester United are leading the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, a player they first scouted at age 16 but failed to sign on two previous occasions despite early interest and low valuations. United passed on Sesko in 2019 and again in 2022 before he joined Leipzig. Now likened to Haaland and Ibrahimovic, the prolific Slovenian is once again a top target as United look to avoid a third costly miss.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
July 2025
RB Leipzig have set a €75 million asking price plus add-ons and a sell-on clause for Benjamin Sesko. Both Manchester United and Newcastle are vying to sign the 22-year-old striker this summer. United have initiated contact with Leipzig while Newcastle also prioritise Sesko, who scored 21 goals in 45 appearances last season. Leipzig are firm on their price, with the player under contract until 2029.
Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
July 2025
Borussia Dortmund are in internal talks over a possible move to re-sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. The 25-year-old winger is reportedly open to returning to the Bundesliga side for a third spell. Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, contributing seven goal involvements in 31 Premier League matches. Manchester United are said to be willing to let him go permanently for a fee around €20 million.
