Manchester United are actively pursuing several transfer targets as the summer window heats up, with updates on midfielders Felix Nmecha, Ayyoub Bouaddi, and Sandro Tonali, among others.
Ederson Deal Agreed, Fernandes Set for Spurs
United have agreed a deal with Atalanta for midfielder Ederson, who is expected to become the first signing of the Michael Carrick era at Old Trafford. However, their pursuit of West Ham's Mateus Fernandes suffered a blow after he agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur for an £85m deal, with a medical reportedly completed on Wednesday.
Bouaddi and Nmecha Targets
Lille and Morocco teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi has emerged as a target, but Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City are also interested. The 18-year-old is reportedly set to cost at least £69m. Borussia Dortmund are preparing for offers for Felix Nmecha, with Liverpool, City, and United all linked with the German international.
Alternatives and Defensive Links
Aurelien Tchouameni and Alex Scott are alternatives, though Bournemouth's Scott is also wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool. Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez is reportedly being eyed by former United boss Ruben Amorim as he looks to rebuild his defence at AC Milan.
Tonali Set for Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement to sign Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United in a deal that could reach £100m. An initial £92.5m will be paid, with an additional £7.5m in add-ons based on multiple Champions League qualifications. Newcastle rejected two bids from Spurs before the deal was struck.
Karl Darlow Interest
Manchester United are one of the clubs showing an interest in Karl Darlow, who is available on a free transfer. Sky Sports reports that Leeds have offered the player a new contract, but he is considering his options. United face competition from Everton as they look to bolster their goalkeeping options amid speculation over Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana.
