Manchester United are thought to be readying a huge bid to sign a £270,000 per week star from Real Madrid.
Man Utd and INEOS must sell to buy ahead of Amorim’s first full season
It hasn’t been a campaign to remember for the Red Devils in 2024/25, although there is still the possibility of winning the Europa League.
However, INEOS and those behind the scenes at Old Trafford are preparing for Ruben Amorim’s first full season in charge, and in the summer transfer market, Man Utd may need to sell before they can splash the cash.

The Red Devils could cash in on a first-team player, following a very disappointing performance against Nottingham Forest.
Reports have stated earlier this year that the club may axe 10 Man Utd players on more than £1.8m a week at Old Trafford, which include loanees Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho.
Napoli have also made an €80m (£66.9m) bid to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Man Utd, whereas the Red Devils could sell Kobbie Mainoo for more than £40m, with Real Madrid keen.

Should the club sell a plethora of players, that should give them the funds to make some marquee signings, and by the looks of it, a current Galactico is of interest to Man Utd.
Man Utd ready £85m bid to sign Real Madrid star Valverde
According to reports out of Spain, Man Utd are preparing an offer of €100m (£85m) to sign Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
The Uruguayan is seen by those at the Red Devils as a ‘strategic move not only to strengthen the team in the short term but also to build a solid foundation for the future’.
Valverde moved to the Bernabeu back in 2016 as a teenager and has since gone on to become a first-team star, making more than 300 senior appearances for Madrid.
He’s turned out in a variety of positions this season such as a right-back, defensive midfielder and central midfielder, and was described by Carlo Ancelotti as “arguably the most complete player in football”.
“Fede is a complete and very important player. He can cover many positions, and he performs perfectly in all of them. It’s very difficult to find a right-back like him. For me, it’s challenging to decide his best position depending on the game. Sometimes we need him more as a full-back, and in others, as a holding midfielder.
“I make the decisions, but the player is always available. He never asks for anything. That is his strength, and that’s why I believe he’s arguably the most complete player in football. He could even play as a centre-back without any problem.”
Valued at a career-high €130m by Transfermarkt, Valverde also picks up around €320,000 per week (£270,000 per week) with the European giants, so Man Utd may have to break the bank to have any chance of signing the midfielder.
