Manchester United is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, targeting at least one new midfielder and potentially a forward to strengthen its squad.
United’s primary midfield target appears to be Ederson, the Brazilian currently at Atalanta. The club is reportedly in advanced negotiations, with a target fee hovering around £38 million. His contract with the Italian side runs through 2027, giving Atalanta some leverage but not an overwhelming amount.
Beyond Ederson, the club has been linked to several other midfield options. Names like Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali, and Carlos Baleba have circulated as alternative or complementary targets.
The Tezos deal and XTZ’s rough stretch
Manchester United signed a training kit sponsorship deal with Tezos back in February 2022. The partnership was valued at more than £20 million per year, making it one of the more significant crypto-sports tie-ups in European football at the time.
