Eriksen Told He Can Leave as Transfer Rumors Intensify at Manchester United

Manchester United’s summer transfer activity shows no signs of slowing down as the club has reportedly informed Christian Eriksen that he is free to find a new club before the window closes. The 32-year-old Danish midfielder, who joined the Red Devils last year, could be sold at a cut-price fee as manager Erik ten Hag reshapes his squad.

According to Football Insider, Eriksen, who was initially seen as a key figure in United’s midfield, has been deemed surplus to requirements as Ten Hag looks to refresh his options. While the midfielder played an important role last season, United’s latest signings and tactical adjustments have pushed him down the pecking order.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have ruled out any move for Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, despite the Dutch international being heavily linked with a reunion with Ten Hag. Metro reports that United are pursuing other targets, ending any lingering speculation about De Jong’s potential switch to Old Trafford. The club remains active in the market as they aim to strengthen their midfield, with Burnley’s Sander Berge emerging as a possible addition. Talks between United and Burnley are ongoing, according to Sky Sports.

Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid are looking to expedite their transfer dealings, setting a preferred timeline for the departure of Joao Felix and the arrival of Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher. Spanish outlet AS reports that Atletico want to offload Felix, who is linked with Chelsea, while bringing in Gallagher by midweek to bolster their midfield options.

In other European transfer news, AC Milan have reportedly agreed a deal with Monaco for French midfielder Youssouf Fofana. The 25-year-old was also on Manchester United’s radar, but Milan have moved swiftly to secure his signature. According to Sky Italy, the agreement signals Milan’s intent to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

Back in the Premier League, Aston Villa’s Cameron Archer is attracting loan interest from Union Berlin and Getafe, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The 22-year-old forward is expected to leave on a temporary deal, with both clubs vying for his services.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have placed a £60m price tag on winger Noni Madueke, with interest from several clubs. The Athletic reports that the Blues are open to selling the 22-year-old if their asking price is met, as they continue to balance their squad following a busy transfer window.

Additionally, former Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso, who recently became a free agent after leaving Barcelona, has expressed a desire to join Manchester United. Romano reports that Alonso would “love to join” the Red Devils, adding further intrigue to United’s ongoing transfer activity.

In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on Rennes’ highly-rated under-23 midfielder Desire Doue, beating Chelsea to his signature. ESPN reports that PSG are set to complete the deal as they continue to bolster their young talent pool.
