Here’s a round-up of the latest Manchester United transfer news ahead of a crucial summer for the club, featuring four potential arrivals and one imminent departure:
**Joao Neves**
Manchester United are reportedly leading the race for Benfica’s wonderkid Joao Neves. According to O Jogo, United’s interest in the Portugal international is the most advanced. However, Neves comes with a release clause exceeding £100 million, making it unlikely that United will sanction such a hefty fee for a single player this summer. This high price tag could put immense pressure on Neves should he join the club. Last season, he made 50 appearances for Benfica, underlining his potential despite the significant financial commitment required.
**Goncalo Inacio**
Another Portuguese defender on United’s radar is Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio. At 22, Inacio is more experienced than some of the other targets. Fabrizio Romano reports that United have been scouting Inacio, but they face competition from Liverpool. Inacio’s release clause is around £50 million. Romano notes that United are prioritizing a right-footed centre-back first, with a potential move for the left-footed Inacio dependent on available funds later in the window.
**Mikayil Faye**
Manchester United have been given a boost in their pursuit of Barcelona prospect Mikayil Faye. The Mail reports that Faye is keen to leave, with Barcelona looking to raise funds for their own summer transfers. Faye, a 19-year-old Senegal international centre-back, has yet to make his debut for Barcelona but was included on the bench late in the season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United fans will be closely monitoring these developments, anticipating significant changes to the squad for the upcoming season.
