Manchester United are exploring potential new signings ahead of the summer transfer window. Amidst their FA Cup final anticipation and Premier League aspirations, rumors regarding their transfer targets continue to circulate.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos Group’s recent acquisition of a 25% stake in United will grant them control over footballing operations and oversee the summer transfer business.
Reports from Germany suggest that United are intensifying their interest in Bayer Leverkusen full-back Jeremie Frimpong. Sport Bild claims that United have increased contact with Leverkusen regarding a potential deal. Frimpong has played a pivotal role in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title-winning campaign, contributing 13 goals and 11 assists despite primarily playing as a right-back.
Separately, Barcelona is reportedly considering letting go of Frenkie de Jong this summer to fund new acquisitions. United’s interest in De Jong has been known since Erik ten Hag’s appointment as manager. However, the player has remained at Barcelona. Sport reports that the La Liga giants are considering a sale, with Premier League clubs and Paris Saint-Germain showing interest. Nevertheless, De Jong reportedly has no plans to leave Barcelona despite the club’s openness to his departure.
