MU Club seeks to sell 4 top stars to Saudi Arabia

"Manchester United are at risk of violating the Premier League's sustainability and profitability rules due to their unbalanced finances. In July 2022, Manchester United were fined £260,000 by the European Football Federation (UEFA) for what was described as a "small break-even deficit" in the 2022-2023 financial season. In the summer transfer window, they also bought stars Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana and Mason Mount at a total cost of more than £200 million. Therefore, the need to sell players to balance Manchester United's finances is currently very large," said Mail Sport .

"MU has put 4 stars including Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial on the transfer list, ready to listen to offers from Saudi Arabia's Saudi Pro League. These 4 stars cost MU up to 230 million pounds to recruit, now they expect to recover about 100 million pounds in transfer fees. Casemiro, Varane and Martial have all been informed that their contracts will not be renewed, while Sancho is being disciplined and is looking for every way to leave," shared Mail Sport .

"Coach Erik ten Hag also hopes that MU will soon sell these stars in the winter transfer window to have more funds to recruit the stars they want. However, the possibility of MU quickly selling these players is very difficult.

After midfielder Donny van de Beek is about to move to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan with a buyout clause at the end of the season. Sancho also wants to move to Germany to play for RB Leipzig in a similar form, but has not yet reached an agreement on salary (requiring nearly 17 million pounds). Meanwhile, with Casemiro, Varane and Martial, clubs in the Saudi Pro League, after spending up to 750 million pounds in the summer transfer window, are also considering recruiting. The possibility of MU selling these stars can only be in the summer transfer window of 2024," Mail Sport expressed.

Meanwhile, according to the British press, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe bought 25% of the shares of MU Club with a value of 1.25 billion pounds, is about to complete all procedures and is expected to officially announce right before Christmas. After taking over the football division of the Old Trafford team, Mr. Jim Ratcliffe is also said to make many changes at the top level of the club and speed up the transfer of redundant players or players who no longer meet the project of coach Erik ten Hag.
