Manchester United are planning to sign two quality midfielders and leave three to raise money for transfers. Real Madrid will sign Erling Haaland for €150m subject to one condition, while Arsenal want to pounce on the Spanish giants in search of a high-class star to pair with Mikel Arteta. Next season, it will be transformed into a new-look formation.
Manchester United’s ambition with 2 midfielders in, 3 out
Manchester United are ready to make the signing of Tin Kupmeiners their top priority for the summer and could go up to €70m to sign the Atalanta player, it has been claimed.
However, it has been reported that the Dutch star, who is also on Liverpool’s summer radar, will not be their only midfield arrival in what is sure to be a busy summer of comings and goings.
The Red Devils endured an indifferent 2023/24 campaign, winning the FA Cup and qualifying for the Europa League, but showed why they still need vast improvement after combining a disastrous Champions League campaign with an unacceptable 8th-place finish in the Premier League. . -This is the first time in the history of the competition.
And with Sir Jim Ratcliffe seeing the midfield as a key area for development, Manchester United now reportedly have big plans to bring in two new names as part of a €150m (£127m) double deal.
In fact, their interest in Kupmeiners was first mentioned late last week and now Calciomercato claim that United are ready to step up their interest by making a firm offer for the Dutchman.
Manchester United maintain a good relationship with Atalanta, who signed Rasmus Hozlund for £72m last summer.
The Red Devils are now ready to meet the €70m (£59.6m) fee required to bring in Netherlands international Kupmeiner, who enjoyed a stellar season en route to winning the Europa League.
United’s offer would blow his other suitors, Juventus, out of the water, while the Bianconeri could only go as far as €40m. As a result, Juve have now switched their focus to Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz.
Kupmeiners scored 15 goals and added 7 assists for Atalanta this season, finishing in an impressive 8th place.
Manchester United are also keen to sign Yulmand as the trio prepares to leave.
Manchester United are favorites to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Morten Yulmand this summer, with worried Ruben Amorim now warning the Red Devils about his price.
The Danish international enjoyed a superb season under Amorim as Sporting CP won the Portuguese Primeira Liga title, and his form caught the attention of both Barcelona and Tottenham.
But reports on Monday morning suggest that it is United who are front and center in the race for his signature, with a worried Amorim making it clear the player will not be allowed to leave for less than his exit clause.
The current transfer fee is set at 80 million euros (£67.7 million), which is considerably more expensive than Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandes when he moved from Benfica to the Premier League (120 million euros), but it is the same amount as the current one. He also mentioned another Manchester United target in Joao Neves.
Obviously, United can’t simply spend big without any repercussions and are likely to let a number of big-name stars leave in order to balance the books.
Don’t miss it ➡️ Man Utd could buy seven Casemiro replacements this summer as they target the perfect Kobbie Mainoo partner.
As a result, Ratcliffe is keen to clear the way for a €150m deal, double that of Hjulmand, with Koopmeiners by allowing three of his four midfielders to leave this summer.
Casemiro is a clear candidate to leave, with the Brazilian struggling to justify his massive £250,000-a-week salary last season and proving a shadow of his former self. He could leave with Saudi Arabian side Al Nasr for a fee of around €25m.
United will also allow a move away after deciding not to include a €20m option on Sofian Amrabat’s signature. He performed better in the closing weeks of the season, but this was not enough to warrant a permanent move and he will return to his parent club Fiorentina.
The Red Devils are also planning to let one of Scott McTominay or Christian Eriksen leave. The Scotland international has never been convinced that Erik ten Hag is worth keeping and a sizeable offer would tempt United to part with the money.
Meanwhile, Eriksen has one year left on his contract and is expected to be allowed to move on after falling in the rankings last season.
