HERE WE GO: Confirmed today by Fabrizio Romano as Manchester United the signing of £105m Europe world-class superstar after concrete agreement today, Medical currently ongoing as announcement set to be done today
Manchester United have officially confirmed the signing of a world-class superstar for £105 million today, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The medical examinations are currently underway, with an official announcement expected to be made later today.
In addition to this major signing, Manchester United have shown significant interest in acquiring Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior. Despite Vinicius being contracted with Madrid until 2027, the uncertainty surrounding his future has attracted the attention of the Red Devils. To secure the Brazilian international, Manchester United would need to meet a substantial asking price.
The potential transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid has raised questions about Vinicius’ future at the Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappe’s arrival is likely to impact Vinicius’ position on the field, potentially leading to one of them being deployed in a less preferred role under coach Carlo Ancelotti. Although Mbappe is set to join Madrid on a free transfer, he is expected to command a significant salary and a staggering £128 million signing bonus spread over five years.
This scenario might lead Madrid to consider selling Vinicius, but only if they receive an exceptionally high offer. Manchester United, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe looking to restore the club’s prominence in global football, could be ready to make such an offer. Ratcliffe’s plans for the club include a substantial investment, with reports from Spanish media outlet Fichajes indicating that Manchester United are prepared to bid €180 million (approximately £154 million) for Vinicius.
Furthermore, United are willing to offer Vinicius an annual salary exceeding €30 million. Despite these bold moves, there are concerns that Mbappe’s arrival might negatively impact Vinicius’ role at Madrid. Nonetheless, Vinicius reportedly intends to stay with Madrid, making a transfer this summer appear challenging for Manchester United.
The Red Devils are actively seeking a ‘global star’ to transform their fortunes, with Ratcliffe keen on overcoming the team’s recent struggles and achieving better results.Manchester United have officially confirmed the signing of Portuguese midfielder João Neves from Benfica for a record-breaking £105 million.

In parallel, Manchester United are reportedly interested in Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior. Speculation suggests that Vinicius’ role at Madrid could be affected if Kylian Mbappé joins the club, potentially prompting Manchester United to make a substantial offer for the Brazilian star. Reports indicate that United might be willing to bid around €180 million (approximately £154 million) and offer Vinicius a lucrative contract to bring him to Old Trafford. However, Vinicius has expressed a desire to stay at Real Madrid, making a transfer challenging【6†source】.
