- Chances fading for a £75 million attacker target
Transfer Developments on August 3
Manchester United's pursuit of Iliman Ndiaye hit a snag after Everton set a £75 million price tag. The club seems unwilling to meet this figure, leaving Al-Hilal as the likely front-runners despite Ndiaye’s preference to stay in Europe.
On a brighter note, a new midfield candidate has emerged. Reports link United with Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners. The 28-year-old Dutch international, who joined Juventus from Atalanta BC for £42.7 million in 2024, struggled for playing time last season, starting just 18 of 33 Serie A matches.
Man United urgently need reinforcements in central midfield due to Manuel Ugarte's long-term knee injury. However, Aston Villa are also interested in Koopmeiners, suggesting competition remains fierce.
United have also been linked with Arsenal's 19-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, valued at around £38.5 million. He is seen as an alternative to Newcastle’s Lewis Hall, but Arsenal reportedly have no plans to sell him.
Interest in Francisco Conceicao from Juventus continues alongside the pursuit of Koopmeiners. The Portuguese winger is priced between £34 million and £42 million, making him a more realistic option now that the Ndiaye deal has stalled.
The situation regarding Aurelien Tchouameni at Real Madrid is still being watched. United appear to be waiting on official confirmation that Rodri’s move to the Bernabeu will free up Tchouameni for transfer.
