Manchester United in Reported 'Concrete' Talks to Sign 16-Year-Old AIK Striker Kevin Filling

The low-fee pursuit reflects United’s youth-first plan, with the prospect expected to enter the development pathway rather than the first team.

Overview

  • Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg says United are in concrete negotiations, with a valuation near €3 million and a possible January move.
  • Filling, 16, has broken into AIK’s senior side this year and scored in the Allsvenskan after netting on his debut.
  • AIK are reported to be reluctant to sell following a recent professional deal, no club has confirmed talks, and the player has publicly downplayed the speculation.
  • Several Bundesliga clubs are monitoring him, with prior Premier League interest reported from Tottenham, Newcastle and Leeds.
  • If signed, the forward would likely start with United’s academy or Under-21s, consistent with INEOS-led recruitment focused on developing young talent.
