According to Voetbal International, Million Manhoef can pursue a move to the MLS this summer, as Stoke City is willing to cooperate with a departure for the winger. It is up to Manhoef to decide whether he will leave. It is unclear which clubs from Major League Soccer are interested, but it is certain that the winger is attracting interest. Manhoef is under contract at Stoke City until mid-2027, and the English club would like to receive a transfer fee for him.

James Knowles suggests it would not be surprising if Million Manhoef has played his last game for Stoke. Liam Hall says Manhoef will be sold with a year left on his contract.

Million Manhoef could still leave Stoke City this week despite the English transfer window being closed. A move abroad remains possible for Manhoef as numerous leagues around Europe are open until later this week, and the MLS window does not close until March. Manhoef was left out of Stoke’s matchday squad against Southampton as a precautionary measure, which led to speculation that the Dutchman could be leaving the club. Any club in the Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Austria, Turkey, or the MLS could still sign the player. Manhoef had previously been linked with moves to Celtic and Leeds United, though a move to either club is now impossible.

KRC Genk has shown interest in signing Million Manhoef. The player is currently a key player for Stoke City, having played 31 Championship matches with four goals and four assists. Stoke City initially paid four million euros for him from Vitesse in early 2024. Now, his transfer fee is expected to be around 11.5 million euros.
