Man United News: Olise and Neves Targeted as Key Summer Signings
Exclusive: Man United Eye Michael Olise and Joao Neves Amid Summer Overhaul
Manchester United are gearing up for significant changes in both their midfield and attack this summer.
Sofyan Amrabat is set to return to Fiorentina, and there is an increasing likelihood that Christian Eriksen will also depart in June.
Casemiro’s Future in Saudi Arabia
Casemiro is expected to move to Saudi Arabia with an anticipated transfer fee of around €30 million. United are awaiting a firm offer before proceeding with his departure.
Bruno Fernandes to Stay
Bruno Fernandes, however, is almost certain to remain with the club for the upcoming season.
A Busy Summer Ahead
United aim to allocate part of their funds to secure Joao Neves, who has become a top priority. Additionally, the club is working on extending the contract of young talent Kobbie Mainoo, whom they wish to retain long-term.
Adrien Rabiot and Other Midfield Targets
Negotiations continue with Adrien Rabiot, who will decide his future post-Euro 2024. Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, also attracting interest from Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Arsenal, is under United’s watch.
Challenges in Signing Khephren Thuram
Securing Nice’s Khephren Thuram presents a challenge, as Liverpool currently lead the race. Quinten Timber is another target, but competition is stiff, with Liverpool, Milan, Napoli, and Roma all interested.
Attacking Reinforcements
In attack, Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise is a key target, valued at £35 million. His technical and tactical skills are highly regarded by INEOS.
With Anthony Martial leaving as a free agent, United need a new striker. Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins are among the top candidates.
Benjamin Sesko is also admired, but Arsenal are in the strongest position, having ongoing discussions with his representatives and a scheduled meeting with Leipzig to negotiate his release clause.
Transfer Exits and Retentions
Jadon Sancho may stay at Dortmund, with discussions to follow the Champions League final. An agreement seems likely.
Mason Greenwood’s future remains undecided until season’s end, though there are discussions about a possible stay at United. Atletico Madrid has shown significant interest, but Juventus, unless considering a loan, are not serious contenders.
Marcus Rashford has no plans to leave United, and the club intends to keep him, despite persistent interest from PSG.
