MU is racing with the time before the team's pre -season, when finishing the fee for the goalkeeper instead of Andre Onana.
It seems that this will be an important summer transfer period for MU after a disappointing season. MU ended in the bottom half of the 2024/25 Premier League rankings and was not eligible to attend the European Cup new season. In this context, MU tried to sign a contract with Matheus Cuha, who joined the Club from Wolves at the beginning of this summer transfer window. The Brazilian international player is a significant addition to Ruben Amorim's team when the Portuguese coach tries to change MU's attack.
The Manchester Club did not stop there, with the young left -back Paraguayan, Diego Leon. Specifically, Leon signed a 5 -year contract with an additional option for an additional one year, and officially takes effect from July 1, 2025. In terms of transfer details, the original fixed fee was published about 3.3 million pounds, along with sub -terms that could push the figure up to £ 7 million.
Besides, MU is gaining a very viable signal in signing a contract with midfielder Richard Rios from Palmeiras during the summer transfer window. According to information revealed by journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Richard Rios's transfer fee was about 25 million pounds. The 25 -year -old Colombian player played 35 matches in the last season, scored 4 goals and had 3 assists. Rios is said to add value to MU midfield. His energy and enthusiasm is the middle of the “Red Devils”.
Another detail worth noting is that MU is still completing the recruitment of Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor after his good performance at FIFA Club World Cup. In fact, signing a contract with a new goalkeeper is the priority of coach Ruben Amorim of Manchester United, who expressed his dissatisfaction with Andrre Onana's unstable performance last season. The Cameroon goalkeeper, who joined the British club in 2023, could not assert himself as the first choice, when he always brought a sense of insecurity.
John, a prominent player in the Botafogo team last season, has a contract with this Brazilian club to 2026. The British international competition at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 has strengthened the attention of Manchester United, the team considered this goalkeeper as a potential addition to the goal of the first team. Notably, MU is said to have finished the 12 million euros to complete the agreement with Botafogo to sign a contract with the Brazilian goalkeeper.
