Manchester United are observing as Premier League clubs rush to complete numerous transfer deals before the June 30 deadline, potentially planning a significant move of their own.

 

Four clubs ā€“ Newcastle United, Everton, Aston Villa, and Chelsea ā€“ are engaging in a series of transfers to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

 

Chelsea and Aston Villa are negotiating a deal where Ian Maatsen would move from Chelsea to Villa for Ā£37.5 million, which would be recorded as profit for Chelsea since Maatsen has been with them since he was 16. Villa would spread this cost over five years, impacting this yearā€™s accounts by only Ā£7.5 million. In exchange, Chelsea is set to acquire 18-year-old striker Omari Kellyman from Villa for nearly Ā£20 million. Kellyman, purchased by Villa from Chelsea for Ā£600k a year ago, has seen his value skyrocket despite limited playtime.

 

Similarly, Villa and Everton are engaged in swaps: Villa bought Lewis Dobbin from Everton for Ā£10 million, though his market value is around Ā£2 million, while Everton acquired Tim Iroegbunam from Villa for Ā£9 million, despite a lower market valuation.

 

Newcastle and Everton are also negotiating, with Newcastle considering a Ā£20 million move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the potential exchange of Yankuba Minteh, whose value has dramatically increased to Ā£40 million following an impressive loan spell at Feyenoord.

 

Manchester United is particularly focused on Everton, contemplating a second bid for Jarrad Branthwaite after Everton rejected an initial Ā£35 million offer. United’s interest reflects a cautious approach under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who aims to avoid overspending.

 

Dave Powell, a football finance writer, suggests that United have the financial leeway to make an Ā£80 million offer for Branthwaite, spread over five years at Ā£16 million annually. United have approximately Ā£31 million left under their PSR limits, allowing them to spend significantly more if they choose to.

 

United also plan to sign a striker, a center midfielder, and a new defender. Joshua Zirkzee is a potential target to replace Anthony Martial, with a Ā£33 million release clause activating soon.

 

Given their financial flexibility, United could spend up to Ā£155 million before the month ends, taking advantage of the transfer market opportunities, essential after their disappointing eighth-place finish last season.
