The transfer rumour mill continues to turn at Old Trafford, with the latest name linked being Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 37 possible arrivals and 6 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Fermín López. The items below represent the latest news on the most important of these transfer rumours.
Viktor Gyökeres
On Thursday, it was reported that Manchester United are seeking a new No 9 in January, and Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres is mentioned as a player who fits this description. A transfer could be possible as Gyökeres is not a regular starter at Arsenal. Former Arsenal defender Willian Gallas stated to SeatPick that if the forward were to move to Manchester United, it would mean he had failed.
Nnamdi Collins
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt's centre-back Nnamdi Collins, according to reports from Wednesday. The club faces competition from Chelsea and Liverpool, with all three English clubs said to be monitoring the 22-year-old and having sent scouts to follow his development. Frankfurt are reportedly unlikely to approve a departure in the January transfer window and are said to be looking for offers around €35 million.
Dennis Seimen
On Tuesday, it was reported that Manchester United are interested in VfB Stuttgart's 20-year-old goalkeeper, Dennis Seimen. The club is closely monitoring the player, with Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid also said to be monitoring his development. None of the interested clubs have opened formal negotiations, as their current activity is limited to scouting. Stuttgart could reportedly demand between €25 million and €30 million for a sale, and a January transfer is considered unlikely.
Rayan Aït Nouri
Reports on Wednesday suggested Manchester United's chances of signing Rayan Ait-Nouri are increasing, with everything reportedly being done to secure a January departure. Journalist Nabil Deljit revealed to L’Equipe that a significant change would be required for Ait-Nouri to remain at Man City after this month, stating the player and his representatives are doing all they can to secure a departure. On Tuesday, German journalist Florian Plettenberg said on X that personal terms will not be a problem and that United want the player. That same day, Sky Sport reported that a concrete offer has already been made by Manchester United.
I. Toney
According to a Wednesday report from Football Insider, Man Utd plan to make a loan approach if they attempt to sign Ivan Toney mid-season. The outlet stated that Manchester United are more likely to sign the Al Ahli striker on loan in January rather than on a permanent deal. The report added that Toney has a very lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia and Al Ahli are under no financial pressure to sell him.
Jacobo Naveros
Team Talk reported on Wednesday that Manchester United are competing for Como defender Jacobo Ramon and have increased their interest. The club's scouting of the defender is expected to intensify following his impressive performance against them two weeks ago in the Champions League. His market value has reportedly risen towards the €50million mark.
Aleksey Batrakov
On Wednesday, Team Talk reported that Manchester United were represented in Istanbul to scout Aleksey Batrakov, and the club's interest in signing him is growing. Sources believe a release clause in his agreement with Galatasaray is valued at approximately £50 million and could permit a move in 2027. Galatasaray are reportedly looking to open contract talks with Batrakov, potentially to remove the clause.
