According to Tuttomercato, Manchester United are following Neil El Aynaoui with attention. The report states that Manchester United are among the new admirers from England. It is also reported that Roma have indicated to potential buyers that 30 million euros may not be enough to convince them to let Neil El Aynaoui leave.

According to TEAMtalk, Neil El Aynaoui has become one of the most discussed midfielders of the summer following a series of impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The outlet states his displays against Brazil and the Netherlands have particularly attracted notice, and that Premier League clubs are now investigating whether Roma could be persuaded into a sale. Football Italia has also reported that his World Cup form has attracted the interest of Man United. Roma are not expected to facilitate a sale, as Neil El Aynaoui is viewed as a player with significant potential, and any Premier League club would need to present a financially attractive offer to convince the Italian side to sell.

TEAMtalk has reported that intermediaries have spoken with Manchester United regarding the availability of Roma's midfielder, Neil El Aynaoui. According to the same source, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newcastle United, and Sunderland have also held discussions with intermediaries. The player's representatives believe a genuine transfer opportunity exists this summer if Roma receives an appropriate proposal, and sources have confirmed that Barcelona and Real Madrid also made enquiries earlier this year.
