Manchester United and Arsenal are monitoring Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yasin Ayari. The 23-year-old Swedish international, who also holds Tunisian nationality, has 27 caps and 6 goals for Sweden. Other European clubs, including AC Milan, are also interested in him. Ayari joined Brighton in January 2023 and has a current market value of €45.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Manchester United have been tracking the midfielder for several months, but Brighton want to extend his contract and can trigger an option, which could improve their position in negotiations. This situation may mean Manchester United and Arsenal have to wait until summer 2027 before making a formal approach. However, if contract negotiations stall, Ayari could become a target for Premier League clubs in the next transfer window. According to reports from October 2026, Brighton is seeking between €40 million and €60 million for the player.
