Man United Consider €150m Double Move as Goalkeeper Pursuit Hits Resistance

A reported collapse of a move for Emiliano Martinez underscores friction over spending on a new No. 1.

Overview

  • Reports indicate United aim to add a goalkeeper and a playmaking midfielder before the Sept. 1 deadline, with Fichajes claiming the club is willing to allocate about €150m to complete both.
  • Journalist Gaston Edul says a deal for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez was very close but fell apart after club chiefs resisted a major outlay, with United proposing a loan and Villa seeking a sale.
  • Fichajes links United to Gianluigi Donnarumma and Adam Wharton, and to a potential €80m proposal for Eduardo Camavinga, though no agreements are in place.
  • United have yet to record a permanent sale this summer, leaving limited room under spending rules after more than £200m invested in an attacking rebuild.
  • Fabrizio Romano reports Jadon Sancho rejected a £20m loan to Roma as United push exits for a 'bomb squad' of out-of-project players including Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia.
