This summer transfer window, if reports are to be believed, is set to be an exciting one for Manchester United.
Already this week we’ve seen reports of both Donny van de Beek and Casemiro being linked to Saudi Arabia with a number of clubs looking for their signature.
Van de Beek, upon returning from his loan to Eintracht Frankfurt, has not ruled out the option of playing in the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ahli and Al-Ettifaq both looking at the Dutchman.
Although not the only United player tracked by Al-Ahli, that Saudi Arabian club are also eyeing up Casemiro alongside Al-Qasidya and Al-Nassr, the latter of which could see a reunion with his old Real Madrid and United teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo. Although he three clubs are considering his signature, the $30 million price tag on the Brazilian is reported to be somewhat of a contention for the teams.
Another player with links to move away from United is recent Getafe loanee and Player of the Season, Mason Greenwood. His successful return to football with the loan to Spanish outfit Getafe has led to a number of teams looking at the Englishman, with Getafe hinting cryptically to their desire to bring the 22-year-old back to Spain, and links being reported to Borussia Dortmund too.
Alongside this, Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are entering the final year of their contracts, which could make it increasingly likely that United will listen to offers for the pair this summer in order to avoid both leaving for free on their contract ends next year.
With so many players having the potential of leaving Old Trafford this summer, it’s no surprise that United are looking at options to bring new players in.
Recent reports from Sports Mole have announced that United are looking at RB Leipzig attacker, Dani Olmo.
The attacking midfielder has had a fantastic run this year for the German club, despite several injuries, making 25 appearances for the club across all competitions, netting eight goals, including a hattrick against Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.
With five assists also to his name in the Bundesliga, Olmo has thrown his all into the team helping them secure a fourth place finish, securing Champions League football next year.
Not only a star for his club, the Spanish midfielder has represented his national team 33 times, including being part of the squad to win the UEFA Nations League in 2023.
Having established himself as a key player at Dinamo Zagreb before joining RB Leipzig, becoming a five times Croatian League winner and three times Croatian Cup winner, Olmo quickly makes his presence known at any club.
With such an impressive career already, it’s no wonder that so many European giants of the game are scouting the young Spaniad, with United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all wanting his signature.
Unfortunately, his signature will come at a cost, with the 26-year-old having a release clause in play until mid-July valued at £51 million.
