The latest transfer talk surrounding Manchester United includes a new link to Moroccan winger Eliesse Ben Seghir. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 31 possible arrivals and 3 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Lewis Hall. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Eliesse Ben Seghir
According to a report from Bild on Monday, Eliesse Ben Seghir is facing his last chance with Bayer Leverkusen, while Manchester United are looking for alternatives. The 21-year-old Morocco international winger has an Estimated Transfer Value of €21.8 million, though a price between that and the €30m Leverkusen spent on him may be negotiable. The Moroccan-French player's contract runs until 2030, and he has 20 caps and 3 goals for his country.
Eric García
On Sunday, it was reported that Manchester United is willing to multiply the salary of Eric García to sign him from Barcelona, where he is also a target for Paris Saint-Germain. However, according to El Nacional, any such attempt is unlikely to be successful. The 25-year-old centre-back joined Barcelona in July 2021 and has a contract that runs until 2031.
Gabriel Rajkovic
Manchester United have watched 15-year-old Valerenga winger Gabriel Rajkovic in recent weeks, as of Saturday. Other top clubs are also monitoring the Norwegian youth international, who holds both Norwegian and Serbian nationality. Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur have also reportedly observed the teenager recently, while clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund, have scouted him. It is understood that Arsenal and Chelsea are leading the pursuit.
Adrien Truffert
On Sunday, reports indicated that Manchester United have identified Bournemouth left-back Adrien Truffert as a significant option to eventually replace Luke Shaw. United’s interest has reportedly strengthened following Newcastle’s decision to secure Lewis Hall on a new contract. A day earlier, on Saturday, TEAMtalk claimed that Manchester United are preparing a move for the Frenchman, that he would be interested in the move, and that Bournemouth could demand a fee significantly higher than €60 million for him.
Louis Page
According to Ekrem Konur on Sunday, Manchester United will compete with Chelsea to sign Leicester City’s midfielder Louis Page. Leicester has previously demanded $20.9 million for the player. Also on Sunday, it was reported that Borussia Dortmund have joined Manchester United in the effort to sign the 18-year-old next year. Page was strongly associated with a move to United on Transfer Deadline Day, but the club was unable to finalise a deal.
Igor Matanović
On Monday, FussballNews claimed that Igor Matanović's performances have attracted growing attention from England, and that Manchester United are monitoring the 23-year-old’s physical profile. The outlet also claimed that Old Trafford scouts view him as a player capable of competing with Benjamin Sesko for the primary striker position. Earlier that day, Sportske Novosti reported that Manchester United has shown interest in the player and that he could receive a big offer in the next transfer window.
Federico Dimarco
According to Hooligan Soccer on Sunday, Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco is an alternative left-back target for Barcelona, and Manchester United are also interested in the 28-year-old. This comes as negotiations over a contract extension have reportedly stalled. On Saturday, it was reported that United have been offered the opportunity to pursue Dimarco again amid uncertainty over his contract situation. His current deal expires next year, though the club has an option to extend it by another season.
