Personal terms completed: Manchester United midfielder agrees £4.5 million-per-year contract to leave. One Manchester United player has signed personal terms to leave the club this summer, according to reports, in a move that might have ramifications for the rest of the Premier League’s transfer season.
Reports indicate that a Manchester United player has finalized personal terms for a summer departure, a move that could impact the rest of the Premier League’s transfer activities.
Despite almost every member of Erik ten Hag’s squad being available for the right offer, only a handful of players have left Old Trafford so far. Frenchmen Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane exited on free transfers after their contracts ended, and Omari Forson also left as a free agent.
Additionally, Mason Greenwood was transferred to Marseille for £22 million, while promising defender Willy Kambwala joined Villarreal in an £8 million deal. Midfielder Donny van de Beek, who struggled since his £35 million move from Ajax, has joined Girona for a modest fee.
These departures have enabled Manchester United to make two new signings: Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, who were brought in for a combined £86 million to replace Varane and Martial. However, further exits are anticipated.
A deal for Noussair Mazraoui is reportedly close but hinges on the sale of right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Additionally, any new center-back acquisition may depend on Victor Lindelof’s future. In midfield, potential deals could be finalized depending on the departure of Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, or Casemiro, all of whom are rumored to be moving on.
The latest development involves McTominay, an academy graduate, who has agreed to personal terms with Galatasaray for a summer transfer. The Scottish midfielder is also a target for Fulham, making for a competitive battle between the two clubs for his signature.
