Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25

Are we meant to believe that Manchester united execs sit there briefing journalists about our possible transfer plans?

I don't necessarily believe its based on a briefing, although much of what he's saying is simply logical. Rashford, Eriksen, and Antony look on their way out. Casemiro could well also leave and Mainoo seems surplus to requirements given that Amorim doesn't seem to think he's a CM and the attacking roles he could move to are already occupied by others. So, Rashford and Mainoo could be big PSR sales.

This guy is good for Bundasliga news but is quite a chancer on the inner workings of our club.

Most journos don't. In the case of Mainoo, his rejection of a new contract for less wages than he wants in favor of a move abroad has been widely reported a few weeks ago, so it wouldn't be a stretch to include him in potential summer transfers.

Leaning to agreeing to this now. He won't get rid of Eriksen and Casemiro and Cas has defo looked like finding his feet under Ruben. Defo worth keeping on as a squad player. Certainly ahead of Eriksen.

I doubt Amorim is leaning towards keeping a 34 year old Casemiro for next year, especially given his wages and decreasing playing time. All of this suggests we're more likely to sell, preferably to Saudi since they seem to have money to blow.

Of course but I feel like he's almost posted it as some sort of inevitability, ahead of Garnacho who was very close to a transfer in January.

Garnacho may be a planned departure but certainly not Kobbie. He's liklely read the situation wrong, or he's not reported it accurately because English isn't his first language.

He says possible and planned so he's got enough plausible deniability if we don't sell or plan to sell any in that list.
 
I can definitely see Mainoo being sold if the stories about him not signing a contract is true, issue will be getting a fee of ~£70million though.

Casimero has a year left on his contract and is on £350K a week, or whatever. We aren't selling Casimero in the summer, logic dictates that.

Plettenberg is pulling this bullshit out of his arse.

This is way off. Our execs would likely be crying tears of joy if they could unload Casemiro's full salary; he's one of the highest paid players in the world! You could replace him with practically anyone and save money.

The reality though is no one wants him at anywhere near his salary. If we have to subsidize nearly his full wage to offload him, then it becomes more practical to just keep him one last year.

Can't see anyone buying Casemiro, and Casemiro likes his United wages.
 
I think it's more likely that Rashford and Sancho are both back at the club than Casemiro leaving, so :shrug:

If we do manage to get all three out, then props to INEOS.

I do think we'll have a 100-125M net spend again so I agree that we'll have money to spend regardless.

You would hope that Kobbie and his advisors sit down with Wilcox/Berrada and come to their senses.

Both Garnaucho and Kobbie should be signed on new 5+1 contracts of base £100-120k with bonuses for assists, CL qualification, win and goal bonuses, they should be told that with A heaven, Chido,
L Yoro, Amad the 6 of them will make up the nucleus of the squad that will start in the new stadium as all of them will be early to mid 20’s by then.

Surely that’s not a difficult sell?
 
We'll sign him for €80m and he'll still somehow be tied to PSG, I swear Xavi has a perpetual contract with them.
 
Tier 2:


The article also states that Betis have yet to get in touch with United about extending Antony's loan despite wanting to keep him for more than one loan spell.

Starting to feel like Chelsea will back out of this deal and send Sancho back to us.

Under what conditions would we let that be an option? I would guess Man Utd would accept such a possibility if they pay his entire salary in 24/25 and a share of his depreciation. That would also explain why Chelsea feel that it is a difficult decision (lets face it, if not it would be a nobrainer).

I’m not sure that would be that bad for Man Utd. His book value would be £15 mill. There is probably a few clubs out there that would be willing to pay £15-20 mill and offer him close to £100k a week. If Man Utd had to cover the split in wages, that would be a small loss.

You better believe if any offer for Casemiro comes from Saudi or somewhere he will be leaving.

There is talk about a penalty clause that allows Chelsea to back out of the deal. What that penalty clause is or whether it really exists, I have no idea. However, Sancho does not seem to have lived up to Chelsea's expectations, so he may end up back with us.
 
Don't understand the Xavi Simons rumours, they signed him permanently at the end of January for 50m (+31 in bonuses). Why would they sell him?
