Overview

  • United have ended their immediate pursuit of Brighton’s Carlos Baleba after being told he is not for sale at a £100m‑plus price.
  • Sevilla’s Lucien Agoume has emerged as a realistic option, with reports citing a €35–40m clause and suggestions he could be available for around €25–30m, though no talks are confirmed.
  • Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand remains admired by Ruben Amorim but carries a reported £68–69m clause, and Sporting are unlikely to sell without a replacement.
  • Spanish reports relayed by CaughtOffside say United are considering an offer near €80m for Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga, but Madrid are not expected to sanction a sale.
  • A planned clear-out to finance deals has stalled, with a potential Rasmus Hojlund exit complicated after Atalanta’s move for Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz collapsed, following about £200m already spent on new forwards.
