BREAKING NEWS :INEOS ‘accelerate’ £130m double deal as Premier League star told why he should snub Man City for Manchester United.
Manchester United’s transfer window is heating up in dramatic fashion as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS hierarchy have reportedly accelerated negotiations to land a stunning £130m double swoop, with Lille’s highly-rated midfielder Carlos Baleba and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma now firmly at the top of their priority list.
Sources close to Carrington reveal that United’s recruitment team has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to finalize at least two more marquee arrivals before the deadline. With Ruben Amorim eager to stamp his authority on the squad, the club’s strategy is clear — blend youthful talent with world-class experience to restore United’s place among Europe’s elite.
Baleba, one of the most promising midfielders in Ligue 1, has been on the radar of several top clubs, including Manchester City. However, United are reportedly confident of convincing the 20-year-old that Old Trafford is the place to continue his development, with the guarantee of regular football and the chance to be a key figure in Amorim’s new-look system. Insiders suggest that United are prepared to outbid their rivals and offer Baleba a central role, something City simply cannot promise given the depth of Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Meanwhile, talks over Gianluigi Donnarumma are said to be advancing, with United exploring the possibility of a blockbuster deal that could see the Italian shot-stopper arrive at Old Trafford this summer. Donnarumma, still only 25, is viewed as the long-term successor to David de Gea’s legacy and a statement signing that would send shockwaves across Europe.
With INEOS pushing hard, fans are bracing themselves for what could be a transformative end to the transfer window. The Red Devils are not just looking to strengthen — they are aiming to make a statement.
The countdown has begun. Will United pull off this £130m double deal and shift the balance of power in Manchester?
