Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano confirmed that Manchester United is seriously considering introducing a new midfielder and the club will remain open to any potential good opportunities. However, the premise of buying new midfielders is that there is no suitable candidate for the center and goalkeeper positions, otherwise the main funds will be invested in these two positions. For example, if Seschko, who signed 85 million euros in RB Leipzig, there will not be much funds to strengthen the midfield. Manchester United lost 33-year-old Danish captain Eriksson this summer, who left the team after the expiration of his contract. Afterwards, Manchester United were linked with Leicester City's Ndidi, Valencia's Javier Grae, Juventus' Douglas Luis and Portuguese Sports' Morten Yuermande, but none of them had substantial developments.

Western media disclosed this week that Gra is now close to reaching a new contract agreement with Valencia. "The Bats gave the new contract to 2029 and increased its salary by three times, which means Gra is unlikely to transfer to Manchester United.

At the same time, Romano confirmed that the Nigerian iron waist Ndidi's deal to join Besiktas from Leicester City is almost completed, and only the last details need to be resolved. Manchester United can buy one less player.

At the moment, midfielder signing is not a priority target, but Spain's Daily Sports said that Manchester United hopes to sign Barcelona's Fermin Lopez may even be willing to spend a lot of money. Spanish media said that Manchester United is willing to pay a high price of 70 million euros (£61 million) for the Spanish midfielder, and the deal is still possible before the end of the summer window.

However, Barcelona's first choice is to retain Fermin, who not only can play in the midfield, but also often plays a guest appearance as a center and winger. Fermin played an important role in Barcelona's championship in the 2024/25 season, and he has in all competitions 46 appearances, scored 8 goals and contributed 10 assists, including 6 goals and 5 assists in 28 La Liga games, and 1 goal and 4 assists in 11 Champions League games.

But the arrival of Rashford may reduce Ferming's chances on the front line. Although Hans Frick hopes to retain this player, he cannot ensure his main position. Ferming has received great attention from Chelsea, Arsenal and Saudi Arabian Professional League clubs this summer, and Barcelona and Ferming's agents are also It is already known that Manchester United's interest may continue in the next few weeks.

It is said that Manchester United knows that it will definitely be a difficult task to convince the 22-year-old to leave a Champions League club and join a team that will not have European games next season. However, Amorin can promise Ferming's main position, and the club can give a large salary. The Red Devils are rumored to be willing to double Ferming's salary in Barcelona and give a contract of 134,000 pounds per week. Ferming's annual salary is about 4 million euros.

Ferming himself firmly stated that he wants to stay in Barcelona. But Barcelona faces financial difficulties, and Spanish media said that if the price is ideal, Laporta will be willing to sell it. Ferming signed a new contract with the club in October last year, with the contract period to 2029, including a 500 million euro termination clause.

The British Daily Mail said that Manchester United intends to introduce Ferming, but everything has to wait for the Red Bull Leipzig to win. The decision of striker Seschko, who will decide his next home between the Red Devils and Newcastle United. Without an ideal new center, Amorin may change his plan and instead strengthen the midfield. It is reported that young player Toby Collier may be rented out to give up a position for a new midfielder.

Other available players in Manchester United currently include Ugater, Kobe Meno, Casemiro and retreating captain Bruno Fernandez, most of whom are considered not suitable for Amorin's 343 play requires midfielders. This play requires the midfield to be balanced offensive and defensive and full of physical strength, while several Manchester United players cannot do it.

However, Manchester United considers introducing Barcelona midfielders, which instantly triggered dark memories of fans. The farce of Tenhager's bid for De Jong was impressive. The 28-year-old Dutch player has been rumored to be sold every year for six years, but he is still in Barcelona. He still has no intention of leaving the team and is planning to renew his contract and stay.

Roma No stressed that Manchester United's signing of Ferming is just a pure rumor. "At present, I haven't heard any specific news yet. First of all, Barcelona does not want to sell Ferming; secondly, the possibility of Ferming leaving this month will only appear when the players tell Barcelona, telling director Deco and coach Hans Flick, clearly saying that they want to leave and want to leave."

Some Manchester United fans believe that the midfield is the area that the team needs to strengthen the most now, and it is even more important than buying a center.
