Manchester United are the center of summer transfer gossip with a number of marquee deals being negotiated as manager Ruben Amorim bids to refresh the squad for the 2025/26 season. From departures to giant signings, the Red Devils are going through a make-or-break transfer window that will set their direction in the coming months.
Rasmus Højlund Could Be Sold at a Colossal Loss
In a stunning reversal of fortune, Manchester United are reported to be prepared to sell striker Rasmus Højlund for around £30 million—a significant reduction from the €82 million they paid to Atalanta in 2023. The Danish international could not achieve consistency during the previous year, and United now appear set to offload their losses to make room for new forwards.
Despite United's desire to offload him, Højlund has made it clear he would rather stay and fight for a place under the new regime of Amorim.

Benjamin Sesko Transfer Talks Ramping Up
Manchester United are negotiating a deal to sign Benjamin Sesko, the breakthrough RB Leipzig strike-forward who is also pursued by Newcastle United. Newcastle reportedly have offered £69.8m but United are preparing with their formal bid. Sesko would reportedly like to move to Old Trafford, giving United the upper hand in the deal.
Sesko is seen as the long-term solution to the club's attacking needs, especially if Højlund exits during the window.

United Plotting €70 Million Move for Fermin López
Barcelona midfielder Fermin López is also reportedly on United's radar. The club are reportedly planning to bid €70 million for the player, although the move would be subject to López personally asking to be moved. Although Barcelona do not want to lose the 21-year-old star, United are confident that he is the perfect fit for Amorim's attack-oriented midfield style.
However, top-notch journalist Fabrizio Romano has emphasized that barring López himself asking to leave, Barcelona will not sell.

Chelsea Target Garnacho? Shock Transfer Gossip Emerges
United's Alejandro Garnacho is now strongly being considered for a summer transfer surprise to Chelsea. Personal terms between Garnacho and Chelsea have already been agreed, sources claim, although negotiations between the two clubs are not finalised until the end of the season. Aston Villa are also monitoring developments and could provide a player-swap offer involving Ollie Watkins.
Garnacho's departure would be a massive setback to United, who have had him as one of the few positive attacking beacons over the past year.

United's other target on their shopping list is Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres. There is an agreed £60m deal but intense competition from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain that may complicate things.
Gyökeres impressed in the Portuguese league last season, and Amorim, his former boss at Sporting, still covets the Swedish striker.
