Manchester United have made a £115m+ offer for the services of an “exceptional” attacking player, according to an exciting new transfer update.
Man Utd eyeing high-profile signings
The Red Devils and INEOS continue to be linked with some massive talents ahead of the summer transfer window, including Southampton teenager Tyler Dibling. The Englishman has been one of the new bright sparks in an otherwise hugely disappointing season for Saint, and Ruben Amorim could snap him up if his side win the Europa League.
Meanwhile, United are said to be leading the race to sign Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo, who has enjoyed an excellent campaign for an impressive Cherries side. Amorim reportedly loves him as a player, with the Ghanaian registering 12 goal contributions (eight goals and four assists) in the Premier League in 2024/25 to date.
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike is also seen as an option for the Red Devils before next season gets underway, following some eye-catching performances for the Bundesliga side. That said, rivals Liverpool are also firmly in the mix and may even be winning the race to sign him.
In terms of potential outgoings at United in the summer, Rasmus Hojlund could depart Old Trafford, following a tough season. The Premier League giants may be happy to accept offers of £55m.
Man Utd make £115m+ offer for Netherlands star Simons
According to a report from Spain, Manchester United have made a huge £115.7m bid for RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons ahead of the summer.
The story describes him as “one of the most promising players in Europe”, following a strong campaign for the Bundesliga side, having joined permanently from Paris Saint-Germain after an initial loan spell.
Simons is a young player with a huge amount of promise, and it is encouraging for United supporters to see the club being so ambitious in the transfer market.
A lot may depend on whether Amorim’s side are back in the Champions League next season by virtue of winning the Europa League, with the Dutchman arguably wanting to play in Europe’s top club competition.
Simons could be such an asset for United, combining great technical ability with end product and versatility in the final third, with Christoph Freund saying of the 21-year-old:
“He is a very good player. He had a very good European Championship and a great season with Leipzig. He’s developed really well. I think he’s going to have a really good career at the highest level. He has everything, mentality, character and is just an exceptional player.”
This season, Simons has scored nine goals and bagged five assists in the Bundesliga, and he also enjoyed a good EURO 2024 campaign with the Netherlands last summer, assisting three times and netting in his country’s eventual 2-1 defeat to England in the semi-finals.
