Man Utd Ready to Trigger Midfielder £38M Release Clause in August
Manchester United Eyes Franco Mastantuono Amid Transfer Speculation
Manchester United are reportedly planning to trigger the release clause of River Plate starlet Franco Mastantuono, amid intense competition from other top clubs.
The Red Devils are expected to be highly active in the transfer market this summer, with a significant rebuild required after finishing in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Ahead of Ruben Amorim’s first pre-season and full-season, Manchester United’s current squad isn’t suited to his preferred system.
To lay the foundations for a successful summer, club chiefs need to trim the squad by removing underperforming players. In January, the Red Devils had to sell to buy, and a similar approach is expected this summer.
Potential Summer Sales
The potential sales of Antony, Sancho and Marcus Rashford could bring in around £95 million combined.
Additionally, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund have been linked to potential moves to Serie A clubs.
Prioritizing Attack this Summer
Amorim’s priority is expected to be strengthening attacking areas, with a new striker and No. 10 options required this summer.
Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Wolves standout Matheus Cunha and could finalize a deal in the coming weeks.
A new report claims that Manchester United are also targeting River Plate sensation Franco Mastantuono, who has a £38 million release clause in his contract.
The Red Devils are considering meeting this clause to fend off competition from Real Madrid and PSG. With Mastantuono described as “the Argentinian future superstar,” Manchester United could make a £38 million swoop to sign him as part of their summer reboot.
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to trigger Mastantuono’s release clause when he turns 18 in August, allowing them to secure his services without prolonged negotiations.
United would need to act fast to fend off emerging interests and secure the young talent.
