Manchester United remain at the forefront of the news in summer transfer window 2025, with some big-name stars seemingly on their way out of Old Trafford. From Alejandro Garnacho's shock Chelsea switch to Kobbie Mainoo's future in limbo, all of the latest Manchester United transfer news today.
Alejandro Garnacho Transfer News: Chelsea Closing In
One of the largest stories of the day is that of Alejandro Garnacho. Chelsea are said to be on the verge of agreeing a deal for Manchester United's winger, with United demanding £50 million, according to Sky Sports.
News from ESPN shows United have told Garnacho to look for another club, and Chelsea is the top candidates even prior to achieving the entire valuation. The winger also wants to play more games, which can accelerate discussions.
Kobbie Mainoo Transfer Update: Premier League Rivals Interested
Yet another bombshell news is from Manchester United's academy gem Kobbie Mainoo. According to The Sun, the midfielder is open to a change, with Newcastle and Chelsea keeping close tabs on him.
Priced initially at £70 million, Manchester United are allegedly willing to accept around £45 million, according to The Sun Ireland. United legend John O'Shea, however, has made a plea to the club not to sell, as he feels Mainoo is "essential for the future" (TalkSport).
This has created dissension among fans, with most believing selling Mainoo could prove to be a mistake like when Paul Pogba was sold as a young player.
Antony Transfer News: Betis Front Runners
United winger Antony is set to leave Old Trafford. AS writes that Real Betis are in advanced negotiations with United on a loan transfer with a mandatory purchase of around £33 million.
Antony has already gone to extreme measures to push through the transfer, reportedly booking an airport hotel room to make it clear that he wants to leave (The Sun).
Bayern Munich, Atlético Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen are monitoring events as well (Bavarian Football Works), but Betis remain firm favourites.
Rasmus Højlund to Napoli: Loan Deal Close
Another big outgoing could see striker Rasmus Højlund leave for Serie A. According to Evening Standard, Napoli are close to finalizing a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option worth £39 million.
The Danish striker struggled for consistency at United, and manager Ruben Amorim appears ready to offload him as he reshapes the squad.
Manchester United Transfer News Summary
Here’s a quick look at where things stand today:
| Player | Status | Reported Fee / Details |
|---|---|---|
| Alejandro Garnacho | In close proximity to Chelsea transfer, negotiations ongoing | £50m valuation |
| Kobbie Mainoo | Chelsea & Newcastle making approaches, ready to leave | Price cut to £45m |

Final Thoughts
With less than a week to go before the transfer window closes, Manchester United are getting ready for a series of significant exits. Offloading fringe players like Antony and Højlund could be advisable, but the possible exits of Mainoo and Garnacho could potentially leave United's formation with long-term gaps.
Supporters will sit on the edge of their seats as negotiations take place, but it is certain of this: Manchester United transfer news will dominate football headlines this week.
