West Ham United’s relegation from the Premier League has opened a fire sale that the rest of England’s top flight is only too happy to attend. Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Jarrod Bowen, with the deal potentially coming together for around £40M, a discount from West Ham’s £50M asking price.
Bowen, who turned 29 this year, is under contract at West Ham until June 2030. That long-term deal would normally give the selling club enormous leverage. But when you’re headed to the Championship, leverage has a way of evaporating.
A forward in demand
Manchester United aren’t the only club with eyes on Bowen. Chelsea and Liverpool have also expressed interest in the forward since West Ham’s relegation was confirmed at the end of the 2025/26 season.
Bowen recorded 11 goals and 12 assists during the campaign, a combined 23 goal contributions that made him one of the more productive attackers in the league even as his team sank around him. Some reports put his total at 21 goals and assists combined.
