Manchester United have taken a decisive step in the transfer market after agreeing a huge fee to sign Europe’s most sought-after player, beating off fierce competition from Chelsea and Arsenal in what is already being described as one of the statements of the window.
According to multiple sources close to the negotiations, club-to-club agreement has now been reached, with the player having already agreed personal terms with United. The final hurdle — the medical — has been scheduled for today, effectively confirming the deal as DONE.
United Win the Transfer Race
This was not a straightforward negotiation. Chelsea and Arsenal had both pushed aggressively in recent weeks, holding talks with the player’s representatives and exploring different financial structures to land the highly rated star.
However, Manchester United moved with clarity and conviction.
United’s project, sporting vision, and guaranteed role under Michael Carrick are understood to have been decisive factors in the player’s choice. While rival clubs attempted to convince him with promises, United backed their interest with action — and a fee that met the selling club’s valuation in full.
Personal Terms Already Sealed
Crucially, personal terms were agreed swiftly, with no issues over wages, bonuses, or contract length. The player is said to be fully committed to the move and has made it clear he wants the deal completed without delay.
Sources indicate the contract includes:
-
A long-term deal reflecting United’s belief in the player
-
Performance-based incentives
-
A central role in Carrick’s tactical setup
Once the medical is completed, the final paperwork will be signed immediately.
Medical Scheduled Today
The medical has been booked for today, with arrangements already made at United’s training facilities. Barring any last-minute surprises — which are not expected — the announcement could follow shortly after.
United are keen to finalize everything quickly, allowing the player to integrate into the squad and begin training as soon as possible.
Carrick Gets His Man
Michael Carrick has personally approved the signing and has been involved in discussions over how the player will be used. The United boss views this acquisition as a cornerstone of his rebuild, not just a marquee name.
Carrick wants players who:
-
Fit the system tactically
-
Have the mentality to handle pressure
-
Can perform consistently at the highest level
This signing ticks every box.
