Personal terms agreed: Man United agrees Personal terms to sign a talented superstar as The Reds set to offload over 10 players at once
Man United agree personal terms to sign a talented superstar.
Manchester United will sign Cerro Porteno left-back Diego Leon pending his medical next week, with the 17-year-old set to join the Red Devils in the summer, according to the Daily Mail.
The Old Trafford club have already agreed terms with the teenage sensation and his club, and everything is set to be finalised formally before the end of next week once he undergoes the necessary tests.
Man United could do with the services of Leon right now as head coach Ruben Amorim is desperate to bolster his options at left-back.
Luke Shaw has continued to struggle with his fitness while Tyrell Malacia has yet to hit top gear after only recently returning from a long-term injury lay-off.
Man United want to strengthen in the position this month and are looking to sign Paris Saint-Germain left wing-back Nuno Mendes.
The Red Devils left-back Harry Amass is expected to leave, with Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy eyeing a reunion.
The 17-year-old has been named in the Man United matchday squad five times in 2024-25 but has yet to make his official first-team debut despite being one of the standout performers in pre-season.
With Leon set to arrive at the end of the season, a move elsewhere, temporarily or permanently, for Amass could be the best option for him, with the Paraguayan coming in to join the senior team.
The South American sensation has played 19 times in the Paraguayan top-flight, with two goals to his name, and he will be eager to hit the ground running at Man United once he arrives ahead of next season.
The Red Devils will be making necessary squad changes on a large scale in the summer as the current players are incapable of taking them to the next level, and a few adjustments could be made to the team this month given their underwhelming form so far.
The Reds set for massive clearout
Manchester United will surely have to work in the transfer market to bring in players who suit Ruben Amorim’s system. They are currently without a sporting director after Dan Ashworth was let go following a fall out.
Amorim has brought the 3-4-3 formation with him from Sporting CP and Man Utd players are still adjusting to what it demands.
It is structurally very different to how Erik ten Hag used to play with his team in his two-odd years at the club.
For instance, having played so many years with a two-center-back formation, Man Utd had enough squad depth to handle that formation in that position. However, now that the Red Devils play with three at the back, they need to sign quality reinforcements.
Now, as per Fichajes, Man Utd are preparing a lowball offer of around £33m to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.
With his contract expiring in 2026, the Red Devils view this as a great market opportunity to sign a genuine superstar in the making for a bargain price.
Guehi was a standout star in the Euros back in the summer and ever since, his stocks have been skyrocketing. Appointed Crystal Palace captain, the Englishman has led from the front despite the team struggling.
If not for his contract, the Englishman is valued at around £80million. That price tag is a better reflection of the player that he has become and if Man Utd manage to sign him for anything lesser, it would be a no-brainer.
It remains to be seen if Man Utd make a concrete move to sign Marc Guehi. Only time will tell if the transfer goes through but this is a potential coup for the club and let’s hope they can get it done sooner rather than later.
