CASEMIRO LEADS 10-MAN GROUP SET TO LEAVE MANCHESTER UNITED IN SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW – PAPER ROUND

Apr 17, 2024

Casemiro, Raphael Varane and eight other players could leave Manchester United in the summer as they look to raise funds for the new season, while on-loan Sofyan Amrabat could leave Fiorentina to join another Serie A side, AC Milan. Donny van de Beek will be sent back to Old Trafford by Eintracht Frankfurt, and Wrexham hope to turn Arthur Okonkwo’s loan deal into a permanent one.

Manchester United could see 10 players leave in the summer, according to the Daily Mail. Erik ten Hag may not be in charge of the club next season, but he may not be the only departure.

The paper explains: “Whatever fate awaits Erik ten Hag this summer, the number of Manchester United stars making an Old Trafford exit could hit double figures as new co-owners Ineos ring the changes.

“Anthony Martial will leave as a free agent and he could be followed by Raphael Varane and Brandon Williams when their contracts run out in June. United must also decide whether to offer Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton extensions.

“It is anticipated that Sofyan Amrabat will be allowed to return to Fiorentina when his loan expires, with United unlikely to take up an option to sign the Moroccan for £21.4million.

“Industry sources have told Confidential that Casemiro, Antony, Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are among those who could be sold, although there’s an understanding that it won’t be practical to offload too many at one time.

“There are also six players out on loan and Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek, Facundo Pellistri, Hannibal Mejbri and Alvaro Fernandez could all make permanent moves.”

As one of the expected Old Trafford departures, Sofyan Amrabat is unlikely to go back to Fiorentina after burning his bridges to force a move.

The Sun believes that AC Milan are a team who could offer him the chance to return to Serie A.

“Sofyan Amrabat’s Manchester United career looks to be coming to a close,” the paper reports.

“Amrabat signed for United following a protracted transfer saga that started before last season had even ended.

“The current front runners for his signature this summer are AC Milan.

“Amrabat has played 23 times for Manchester United, starting in just 24 per cent of those games. “It’s unlikely that Amrabat would have a future at Fiorentina – having gone on strike to force a move to United.”
