Franco Mastantuono (River Plate)
April 2025
Manchester United are eyeing 17-year-old River Plate midfielder Franco Mastantuono, who has a £38m release clause and is eligible to move to England after turning 18 in August.
Compared to Phil Foden, Mastantuono has scored 3 goals in 12 games this year. He’s also attracting interest from Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and Inter, with a senior Argentina call-up expected in June.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
April 2025
Manchester United are nearing an agreement with Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, with Newcastle also showing interest.
United must activate Cunha’s £62.5m release clause, but the player is reportedly attracted to Ruben Amorim’s project and could sign by next month.
Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)
April 2025
Manchester United and Liverpool are eyeing Xavi Simons, who joined Leipzig permanently in January but could be sold for €80m.
Leipzig are open to making a quick profit on the Dutch midfielder, who is keeping his options open despite only recently committing to a two-year deal.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025
Manchester United may sell Alejandro Garnacho if they receive £70m, with Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Napoli interested.
United rejected a £42m bid from Napoli, who see Garnacho as a replacement for Kvaratskhelia. Other clubs are assessing if they’ll match the high valuation.
Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)
April 2025
Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Fulham triggered their obligation to sign Sancho permanently, as they secured a finish above 15th in the league.
The club can still cancel the deal by paying a £5 million fee, but a full transfer may proceed for up to £25 million.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025
Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Napoli are all eyeing a summer move for Garnacho, who could leave Manchester United for £70 million.
Napoli previously had a £42 million bid rejected as they seek a replacement for Kvaratskhelia. United remain firm on their valuation, and it’s unclear if any club will meet the price.
Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)
April 2025
Manchester United have reportedly secured a €60m deal with Napoli for striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray. He has signed a five-year contract with €15m annual net salary.
With Napoli needing to balance finances, United moved early to beat competition. Osimhen will be a key figure in Amorim’s tactical setup heading into the 2025/26 season.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
April 2025
United are considering a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Ollie Watkins. The 27-year-old striker is seen as a potential long-term option, especially with Rashford possibly staying at Villa.
Rashford, previously valued at £40m, could facilitate Watkins’ move to Old Trafford. Arsenal are also monitoring Watkins’ situation as the summer window approaches.
Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Manchester United are eyeing Eze to reinforce their midfield creativity, especially if Marcus Rashford departs. Eze, under contract until 2026, is valued around £50 million and also attracts interest from Aston Villa.
Ruben Amorim sees Eze as a key fit for his reshaped squad. Palace expect bids this summer, and Villa may act if Rashford returns to United or joins another club.
