Man United latest: Man Utd handed major boost as ‘transfer agreement reached’ for £60m Ac Milan forward after agent meeting in Manchester

After handing Michael Carrick a two-year contract as head coach, the Reds are still awaiting confirmation of his first arrival. That acquisition is anticipated to be Atalanta midfielder Ederson, though his £35million transfer won’t be finalised until Brazil’s World Cup 2026 campaign concludes.

The attacking department is another priority area, with Rafael Leao consistently being connected with a switch to Old Trafford following his declaration of intent to depart AC Milan.

A development in the winger’s transfer situation has emerged, while a United player committed his future with a fresh contract. We examine the latest transfer developments concerning the club….

Rafael Leao agreement
The most recent development in the transfer pursuit of United target Leao has been disclosed, with Sky Sport Italia claiming have given the green light to his departure should they receive a bid in the bracket of £51-60million for the winger.

27-year-old – who is presently featuring for Portugal at the World Cup – made clear his ambition to exit the Italian club this summer and has seemingly been identified by the Premier League outfit

A deal for the figures reported – which Milan settled with Leao’s representatives in a recent meeting – would enable the club to turn a profit on the £42.4m they paid Lille to sign him in 2019. Expressing his wish to seek a fresh challenge, Leao told Sport TV: “I think I gave Milan everything I could give.

“It is a club that helped me grow a lot and supported me through difficult moments. I am happy to have left my mark on the club’s history. Everyone has their dreams, their challenges, the things they want, the goals they want to achieve. And I also want to take on a new challenge in a new league.”

The media outlet reports that Milan would be willing to sanction a loan move for Leao with an obligation to purchase him permanently next summer, though they would favour an outright transfer.
