MAN UTD TRANSFER NEWS TODAY: OSIMHEN €130M DEAL, BRUNO FERNANDES TALKS, VAN DE BEEK SHOCK
The latest Manchester United football transfer news updates, with the hottest updates on all the potential new signings and sales at Old Trafford, including Victor Osimhen, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho.
Victor Osimhen saga drawing to a close
After months of speculation linking Manchester United with a move for Victor Osimhen, the Napoli striker’s future is close to being settled – but not in a manner that the Red Devils would have wished.Man Utd, like Arsenal and Chelsea, have distanced themselves from a move in recent times because of Napol’s demand that a buying club pays the player’s €130m release clause.
Both the Premier League sides and Napoli have remained firm in their stance, and even when the Serie A club were willing to drop to €100m there were no takers.
But Saudi Pro League Al-Hilal are set to break the impasse. According to SportMediaset, they are willing to pay €130m to sign Osimhen, and a deal could be struck for the opening of the Saudi transfer market on 17 July.
Bruno Fernandes in Saudi talks
Bruno Fernandes has been given permission to open transfer talks with Saudi Pro League teams, according to TeamTalk.
Al-Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, and Al-Ittihad are both interested in signing the playmaker. Indeed, the influence of ‘CR7’ is said to give Al-Nassr the edge in terms of signing the Portugal international.
An approach was first made over the player last November, and while Bruno Fernandes has publicly said that he will stay with Man Utd for next term, uncertainty has continued to dog his future.
The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns both Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, are said to be “optimistic” in concluding a deal.
Van de Beek close to Girona
According to Relevo and Fabrizio Romano, Girona have reached an agreement with Man Utd for the transfer of Donny van de Beek.
The Champions League-bound side will only pay around €500,000 upfront for the midfielder, though Romano later revealed that Man Utd will have a sizeable sell-on percentage as well as massive bonuses. In fact, the deal could potentially rise to as high as €15m.
Van de Beek has yet to agree personal terms with Girona.### Latest Manchester United Transfer News
