Stoke City rejected a bid of approximately £5 million from MLS team Colorado Rapids for 24-year-old Dutch-Surinamese winger Million Manhoef. The offer was made late in the transfer window. Manhoef's playing time has recently been reduced due to a tactical change by the manager. The player has less than a year left on his current contract, which has no reported extension clause. The Rapids might make another offer for Manhoef when the MLS window reopens in late January 2027. Manhoef joined Stoke City in February 2024 and has 25 caps and 7 goals for the Netherlands U21 team. His current market value is €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
